Figure 1.

A. The Biodex Cyclocentric Semi-Recumbent Cycle has a wide-based seat with an optional seat belt. The seat is released by a handle located below the front panel allowing it to slide back along the track when the subject pushes forward on the pedal. B. Ten tensioning cords (10 lbs per cord) located at the base of the stationary bicycle provided progressive levels of loading. In this photograph, four of the cords are engaged for a total load of 40 lbs resistance. The arrows point to a location within the "cyclocentric exercise zone" when the seat is positioned for optimal lower limb range of motion during resisted cycling.
