Abstract
A device for training and measuring the physical efforts of a user of a nonmotorized rolling vehicle arranged on a turning assembly capable of exerting a load moment imparts a cyclical braking moment which passes from a preestablished value to a zero value dependent on the speed of the vehicle. The braking moment is controlled by detection and measurement of the speed or acceleration of the vehicle in order to drive the vehicle at a constant or substantially constant speed.
Claims7
A device for training and measuring the physical efforts of a person using a nonmotorized rolling vehicle, said vehicle being arranged on a turning assembly capable of exerting a load moment, said device comprising:
- means for imparting a variable braking moment to the turning assembly, said braking moment being cyclical and passing from a preestablished value to a zero value, said moment value being a function of parameters dependent on the speed of said vehicle in order to enable the user to drive the vehicle at a substantially constant speed.
