Ergometer Gravity

A gravity ergometer is a device that is used to measure or measure the work expended on overcoming the gravity of the load being lifted.

The main element of a gravity ergometer is a vertical bar with weights. The subject lifts this barbell to a certain height,

Gravity ergometer - Gravity ergometers are designed to measure or measure the work done by a person when lifting loads weighing up to 20 kg (in some models up to 40 kg), that is, work directly spent on overcoming the force of attraction of the load. This work, as practice shows, averages 50-70% of the total energy consumed in the material. Along with ergometers, there are special techniques and calculators for calculating user performance under various working conditions. This device is the most common, as it reflects the truth
