    This study introduces a novel system for collecting and processing cycle ergometer data. The system accurately measures pedaling forces and angles to enable detailed analysis of cycling performance.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Sports Science
    • Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate measurement of pedaling dynamics is crucial for understanding and improving cycling performance.
    • Existing methods may lack the precision or comprehensiveness needed for detailed analysis of maximal power cycling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and describe a system for precise data collection and processing from a cycle ergometer.
    • To enable detailed analysis of pedaling forces, angles, and power output during maximal effort cycling.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized specially designed cycle pedals with transducers to measure pedal angle and foot forces (perpendicular and parallel).
    • Incorporated a crank position transducer and a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter for data acquisition at 100 Hz.
    • Employed mathematical smoothing to reduce noise and calculated force components and power generated per revolution.

    Main Results:

    • The system successfully captures and processes high-resolution data on pedaling mechanics.
    • Calculated foot force components and power output with high precision.
    • Generated computer graphics displaying pedaling parameters against crank angle.

    Conclusions:

    • The described system provides a robust platform for comprehensive analysis of cycling performance.
    • Enables computerized statistical analysis of pedaling force curves and overall cycling efficiency.
