The new Brachumera Sport
Smarter, Better, Stronger!
With its unbeatable accuracy and reliability, the BrachumeraSport has proven itself as The Gold Standard in Arm Ergometry ever since 2011. However, the world keeps spinning and developments never stop. That is why we now proudly present the new Lode Bracumera Sport: Smarter, Better and Stronger! Still true to its heritage but combined with innovative new features to meet the latest and future requirements of modern sports medicine and research to allow athletes to become stronger and better with smarter use of human performance technology.
Versatile ergometer
The new Lode Brachumera Sport arm-ergometer is an essential part of a sports medicine or research lab, since it can be used to test all types of athletes. The ergometer allows for various tests, like a Wingate sprint test, Isokinetic tests, High Intensity Tests (HIT) and time trials. Moreover, it can also be used for CPET testing.
This ergometer is standard supplied with a 7" control unit and a USB A-B cable to connect to cpet devices.
Highlights
Extreme workload range of 10 - 3000 watt
This extraordinary peak workload is extremely suitable for sports medicine and testing the strongest athletes on their anaerobic power or isokinetic capacity. Combined with the low start workload of 10 Watt this ergometer will fit everybody.
Suitable for all types of athletes
All types of athletes can be tested on this ergometer. The ergometer can be used for various tests, like e.g. Wingate, Isokinetic, HIT and timetrials. Moreover CPET testing is possible.
Heavy Duty Design Arm Ergometer
The Brachumera Sport is designed for heavy duty sports medicine ergometry, without doing any concession on the esthetic, modern and robust design.
Features
Extreme low start up load 10W
The extreme low start-up load of 10 watts and the adjustability in small steps of 1 watt make this ergometer perfectly suitable for many different applications. The standard control unit shows multiple ergometry parameters and you can determine your specific default setting and start-up menu.
Low noise
Due to accurate manufacturing and the careful choice of materials the product has an extremely low noise level.
Accurate over a long period of time
The Lode ergometers are supplied with an electro-magnetic braking mechanism of Lanooy (eddy current). The biggest advantage of this braking system compared to a friction braking system is the absolute accuracy and the accuracy over time. Moreover, friction braking systems have more wearing parts.
Compatible with ECG and pulmonary devices
The Lode ergometers have digital interfaces and can be controlled easily by all known stress ECG and pulmonary devices available in the world. This is one of the reasons why the Lode ergometers are very popular worldwide.
Exchangeable pedals
The cranks of the ergometer are suitable for almost all available clip systems so cyclists can perform a test with their own favorite pedals.
Designed to be sweat-proof
The housing of the ergometer is designed in such way that sweat does not have the chance to drip into the mechanical parts and cables are protected. This ensures a long lifetime and makes the ergometer insensitive for malfunction.
RS232 connectivity
RS232 ports enable connectivity to most ECG and ergospirometry devices as well as PC's.
LEM compatible
This product can be used with Lode Ergometry Manager (LEM) software to manage data and to apply specific protocols when a Communication card is present
