Abstract/Description: | Because of the socio-economical conditions of farmers in developing countries including India, human muscle power is going to contribute energy requirements for performing many farm activities for the next two decades. Pedalling is the most efficient way of utilising power from human muscles. Pedal power enables a person to drive devices at the same or higher rate as that achieved by hand cranking, but with far less effort and fatigue. However, the use of pedal power for occupational work such as stationary farm operations has got scant attention in the past. Keeping these points into consideration a study was planned to optimise power output and pedalling rate for stationary farm operations. Physiological responses of 12 male subjects were studied on a computerised bicycle ergometer at five levels of power output (30e90 W) and seven levels of pedalling rates (30e90 rev min 1). Analysis of data indicated that physiological responses were significantly affected with power output as well as pedalling rate. Increase |
