title = "Measurement of power in mechanically braked cycle ergometers for performance evaluation",
abstract = "Since the Industrial Revolution, the measurement of human work has been of great interest. Initially, this interest revolved around determining pay-related performance of miners or navvies digging canals, on the railways and roads. Tate (1870) defines a unit of work as {\textquoteleft}the labour requisite to raise one pound through one foot of space{\textquoteright}, and his texts give examples based around manual labour.",
