BICYCLE ERGOMETER EQUIPPED WITH MOVING IMAGE DEVICE

摘要

To provide a bicycle ergometer equipped with a moving image device capable of alleviating boredom and mental pain that a user feels by patiently pedaling a conventional bicycle ergometer.SOLUTION: A moving image device is attached to a conventional bicycle ergometer (Fig.1). A user sets a load adjusting dial (3) to a level of strength according to his or her ability, and starts to pedal it. While pedaling, the user switches on the moving image device and selects a moving image suitable for his or her pace. Images taken beforehand when a bicycle is ridden at various speeds are used for the moving image. The moving image device can be provided separate from a numerical value meter indicating time, speed, distance, calorie, and heart rate (Fig. 2) or can be integrated with the numerical value meter, that is, in a package form (Fig. 3). This configuration provides an effect to alleviate boredom and mental pain felt by the user toward his or her movement, by pedaling while seeing a moving image.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
