Bicycle ergometers are used for various fitness and rehabilitation purposes, including: cardiorespiratory fitness testing (like the Åstrand test), evaluating exercise capacity, and training for athletes to improve peak power output. They are also valuable in physical rehabilitation, especially for post-surgical patients or stroke survivors, to improve balance, motor skills, and cardiovascular health. For individuals with severe obesity or mobility issues, a bicycle ergometer is a suitable alternative to treadmill tests.
