dc.description.abstractExercise bicycles are used for kinesiological activities; to increased general fitness, and for training for cycling events. They are also used for weight loss. The aim of this study is to produce a special exercise bike which allows for both upper and lower limbs pedaling either independently or otherwise. The manufacturing processes employed in the design involved the use of AutoCAD design suite and other production engineering processes which included material selection and acquisition, cutting, welding and drilling. This device was tested for both comp=fort and effectiveness for cardiac rehabilitation using the rate of heartbeat as the test parameter. A strong positive correlation was found (p<0.001; =0.962) between the two heart rate tests. An ergonomic evaluation of the bi-modal exercise bike showed 98% suitable of the seat-pedal height with the knee height of the study population and 100% suitable of the seat handle post height with the buttock-knee length of the population. In conclusion, the goal of developing a bi-modal exercise bike that permits simultaneous upper and lower limbs pedaling was realized.en_US
