1 Introduction
Congratulations on your new Excalibur Sport ergometer! This device will provide you
optimal test possibilities. Your test subject will also enjoy using the Excalibur Sport (for its
silent operating circumstances and its adjustability). The Excalibur Sport has standard
possibilities for adjusting the workload of the ergometer. The basic Controller has one display
to read out Workload, RPM, Heart rate (if option 928826 is available), Torque, Timer and
Distance. The Controller can be upgraded with an automatic blood pressure module (option
928818). This enhances the possibilities for controlled ergometry.
The Excalibur Sport ergometer is especially designed to test professional athletes. The
horizontal and vertical adjustability of the saddle and handlebar makes exact and optimal
positioning possible. Besides the high performance aerobic tests, the Excalibur Sport can be
used for the anaerobic Wingate sprint test with the optional software package. Standard toe-
clips are supplied which can be easily changed for the commercial available clip systems.
Another feature of the Excalibur Sport is that it offers possibilities for communication with a
range of other products (e.g. ECG devices, pulmonary function testing equipment).
1.1 Definition of terms
Hyperbolic Ergometry : The name hyperbolic ergometry refers to the curve between the
pedaling speed (RPM) and the torque (T). This curve has the shape of a hyperbole (see Fig. 1
Hyperbolic ergometry). As a result from this hyperbolic relation the workload (W) is
independent of the RPM in a special area (see Fig. 2).
