Technical and physical training of a cyclist on special simulators

Our dear friends, the site “Russian bodybuilding and fitness” continues to introduce you to all kinds of training devices and innovative devices for training athletes of various sports disciplines and levels of training... And today we will please "pedal lovers". In addition to the classic exercise bikes and bicycle ergometers, which are now equipped in all, even the most shabby, gyms, there is also a whole class of devices aimed exclusively at for training of professionals. If classical, standard devices, in the literal sense of the word, are aimed “at every oncoming person,” then with the help of these devices it is possible to produce in-depth physical training of a cyclist, aimed at winning a prize in upcoming competitions. Well, let's look at such simulators...

Video installation for a cyclist.

This type of bicycle trainer is used for bicycle route modeling by film projection onto a screen driven by a bicycle wheel.

The device (Fig. 1) is a stand with a screen 1, having a base 2, rollers 3,4, 5, as well as rollers 6, 7, transmitting movement to a pulley 9, which is connected by a belt drive 8 to a tape drive mechanism 10, 11. the mechanism is used to advance a film strip on which the road and surrounding terrain are photographed. Device 12 regulates the braking effect of the clamping pads 13 on the bicycle wheel.

Bicycle trainer with visual moving picture simulation can be used to prepare cyclists for upcoming competitions on unfamiliar tracks that are previously filmed on video. The effect of simulating natural route conditions is that the speed of movement of the video picture corresponds to the physical speed of rotation of the bicycle wheel, since the rear wheel of the bicycle is structurally connected to the tape drive mechanism and on the handlebar of the bicycle there is a regulator for the action of the brake pads of the bicycle wheel.

The device is used to simulate the movements of a person on a bicycle and physical training of relevant muscle groups.

The device (Fig. 2) contains a frame with two opposing flat ends and a chair 1. Legs 2 from below support the seat of the chair at a certain distance from the supporting surface. Grooved guides 3 are attached to the lower plane of the seat. During operation, the frame slides along the guides. In this case, the ends of the frame move under the seat, and one end moves forward. Pedal device 4, similar to a bicycle one, is installed on the frame between its ends. The trainee, sitting on a seat near the frame, rotates the pedals. The position of the second end of the frame above the supporting surface is changed by an adjustable support.

Training device for cyclist.

The device is used for modeling cyclist loads.

The bicycle trainer (Fig. 3) contains an adjustable frame-holder with support frames under the rear wheel of the bicycle and with telescopic stands hinged to the frame. The racks provide vertical mounting of the bicycle and form, together with the holding frame and the bicycle, a kind of triangle.
