| Abstract |
This study was investigated the positive or negative effects of a newly designed the left and right shakingtype of belly cycle ergometer exercise equipment. The subjects of the average 21-year-old healthy male were exercised both traditional cycle ergometer (Fix group) and shaking-type belly cycle ergometer (Sway group). Variables were measured upper body movement range, heart rate, VO2, blood lactate concentration, visual analogue scale (VAS), electromyography of upper body muscle mobilization, and skin temperature. Physiological exercise intensity of belly cycle ergometer exercise was significantly higher (p<.05) than the traditional cycle ergometer exercise. Muscle activities of external oblique, erector spinae muscle, tensor fasciae latae, and gluteus maximus on the similar intensity of the belly cycle ergometer exercise were required the higher levels than the traditional cycle ergometer exercise. Also the heat loss degree of belly cycle ergometer exercise showed a higher level than the traditional cycle ergometer exercise. Therefore, the belly cycle ergometer exercise show the higher level of physiological effects with the increased movement of the waist muscles than traditional ergometer exercise. |
