Servo-controlled ergometers may aid research standardization of exercise HR; Level 5 data in healthy males leaves clinical use open.
Does a microcomputer servo-controlled bicycle ergometer system improve heart rate consistency compared to a fixed workload in healthy male subjects?
A microcomputer servo-controlled bicycle ergometer significantly improves heart rate consistency during steady-state exercise compared to a fixed workload.
LaPerriere et al. (1989) studied this question.
