ABSTRACT:
A cyclic power monitor measures a cyclically applied force applied by animal muscle power to a device and calculates the work done by the application of the force. The time between cyclic applications of the force is calculated to produce a value which may be used to divide the calculated work to calculate applied power. An indicating device may be employed to indicate departure in applied power from a predetermined value. A cadence alarm may be employed by itself or in combination with the cyclic power monitor to indicate departures in cadence of the pedalling effort from a predetermined value of cadence. In addition, departures in the force applied to the device from a predetermined force may also produce an indication for the operator.
