Changes in Functional Activity with Prediction during Cycling Exercise
Abstract - Purpose of our study is to analyze the changes in functional activities with prediction during cycling using a power-assisted-bicycle. We measured the electrocardiogram and surface myoelectric signals as biological information, and the torque, speed, and cadence as the information on the vehicle. Analyzing several indices at each corner with different gradients showed two types of changes in functional activities. As a result, differences appeared in the time-varying behavior of the RR interval and in the frequency components of myoelectric signals. These features became remarkable as a function of trial. Based on the results, we are planning to develop a personally fitting-attractive-vehicle for human in terms of man-machine-system.
