ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for measuring instantaneous power resulting from a person pedaling a bicycle ergometer. The rotational speed of a rotary member is periodically detected over a brief period of time at time points corresponding to the start of increase and the end of increase of the rotational speed. From these speeds and time points, the instantaneous power is determined.
