Designation: F3023 − 13Standard Test Methods forEvaluating Design and Performance Characteristics ofStationary Upright and Recumbent Exercise Bicycles andUpper Body Ergometers 1This standard is issued under the f i xed designation F3023; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe goal of these test methods is to provide reliable and repeatable methods for the evaluation ofstationary exercise bicycles and upper body ergometers.The equipment user must recognize, however, that a standard alone will not necessarily preventinjuries. Like other physical activities, exercise involving stationary upright and recumbent exercisebicycles and upper body ergometers involves the risk of injury, particularly if the equipment is usedimproperly or not properly maintained. In addition, users with physical limitations should seekmedical advice and instruction from the f i tness facility prior to using this equipment. Certain physicalconditions or limitations may preclude some persons from using this equipment properly and withoutincreasing the risk of serious injury.1. Scope1.1 These test methods specify procedures and equipmentused for testing and evaluating stationary exercise bicycles andcrank training equipment (machines) for compliance to Speci-f i cation F1250. Both design and operational parameters will beevaluated. Where possible and applicable, accepted test meth-ods from other recognized bodies will be used and referenced.In case of a conf l ict between this document and Specif i cationF1250, Specif i cation F1250 takes precedence.1.2 Requirements—Stationary exercise bicycles and cranktraining equipment are to be tested for the parameters specif i edin Specif i cation F2276 and Test Methods F2571 and thefollowing parameters unique to this equipment:1.2.1 Seat post construction and loading1.2.2 Handlebar construction and loading1.2.3 Pedal construction and loading1.2.4 Crank Arm and Enclosure Entrapment1.2.5 Seat back support loading1.2.6 Stability1.2.7 Direct Drive Exercise Bicycle Pedal Endurance1.2.8 Warnings1.2.9 Documentation1.3 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to inch-pound units that are provided for informa-tion only and are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.
