Abstract:
A positionable-axle bicycle ergometer comprising:a pair of axles each to be supplied with a rotational force from a corresponding one of a pair of pedals and a corresponding one of a pair of arms; a pair of seats each supporting a corresponding one of the pair of axles; a pair of guide sections each supporting a corresponding one of the pair of seats such that the pair of seats can reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the pair of axles, a pair of positioning mechanisms each for positioning a corresponding one of the pair of seats by a corresponding one of the pair of guide sections in accordance with a rotation angle of the axles; and braking mechanisms each braking a corresponding one of the pair of axles, wherein the positioning mechanisms each include a rotary wheel using a corresponding one of the axles as an axis of rotation, and an arm having a proximal end swingably supported by a table and a distal end swingably and eccentrically supported by the rotary wheel.
