A Data‐Driven Asymmetric Pedaling Assistant Device for Leg

Summary

We are conducting a project examining the reproducibility of physiological and mechanical responses during cycling exercises. You are invited to attend the Exercise Neurophysiology Laboratory in the Faculty of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary for four testing sessions. During these sessions, you will perform cycling exercises on a custom-built cycle ergometer. During the cycling exercise, physiological and mechanical signals will be collected from the sensors placed on the cycle ergometer. The study is totally non-invasive.
