“…Díky tomu je vyžadován velký přísun energie a kyslíku. U air biku se prokázal potenciál v dosahování vysokých fyziologických hodnot v zátěžových testech a může sloužit jako prostředek pro testování aerobních i anaerobních parametrů (Hoffman et al, 1996;Schlegel & Křehký, 2020). K dispozici je zatím málo intervenčních studií, nicméně i zde se prokázal jako funkční prostředek v rozvoji kardiorespirační funkce nebo v managementu hmotnosti (Hwang et al, 2019).…”

“…Zdá se, že air biky mají shodný potenciál pro získání vysokých fyziologických hodnot. Zároveň se potvrzuje, že při testu s požadavkem vysokého (maximálního) úsilí je na air biku možné dosáhnout vysoké TF i laktátu (Brown et al, 1993;Schlegel & Křehký, 2020). Všechny tři typy tak budou shodně vhodné pro rozvoj kondičních schopností či tělesné zdatnosti.…”

The air bike has become a widespread cardio machine used by the general population and performance athletes. The individual types have a different construction design, and the firmware for exporting information is not unified either. The aim of the research was to compare three air bikes (Assault, Echo, Beast) in a similar price relation using physiological responses, RPE, and exported data. The research group consisted of 10 physically active men (26.7 years). All completed a test protocol on each air bike, containing three parts with different intensity requirements. Air bikes varied in distance traveled and calorie value. In contrast, physiological parameters did not show a statistically significant difference (α = 0.05). The design of selected air bikes (especially the flywheel size) and firmware can decide on the exported values on the tachometer and are not entirely transferable between machines. Even so, they serve a purpose in terms of load on the body and are equally suitable for fitness training or sports training. It was original research, and the results need to be confirmed.

“…During air biking, large muscle groups of the upper and lower body are activated. Compound movements requiring the work of large muscle groups are characterized by high consumption of energy substrates (Schlegel & Křehký, 2020). At the same time, there is a need for increased oxygen supply associated with increased respiratory rate and cardiac output (Hoffman et al, 1996).…”

“…Comparable results were reached byKim et al (2008) during continuous work for 15 minutes. Only one study(Schlegel & Křehký, 2020) tested anaerobic fitness using an air bike. The participants were shown to achieve higher lactate levels (15.98 mmol/l) than the Wingate test and showed significant differences in the development of the lactate curve after exercise.…”

Air bike has become very widespread worldwide and is often used by the general population and athletes. For the development of health and performance aspects, a detailed analysis of the effect on the organism is necessary. The aim of the article was to determine the effects of air biking on the cardiovascular system and specify its optimal use. A systematic review was performed using PRISMA guidelines. A total of 65 eligible full-text articles were identified, of which 26 were selected for the final analysis. They were divided into two groups according to the way the air bike was used: 1. Testing protocol, 2. Part of an intervention program. Air bike is a suitable tool for testing non-specific aerobic and anaerobic fitness. It has the potential to achieve high values of heart rate (HR), respiratory equivalent ratio (RER), ventilation, and lactate. It seems ideal for the development of cardiorespiratory function and health. Further research is needed to make specific, practical conclusions, especially in intervention programs.

Stress testing is an integral part of assessing cardiorespiratory fitness. Air bike is a cardio machine that has lately become quite popular among both professional athletes and general public. It is a type of stationary bike equipped with two handles allowing also upper-body activity. The aim of this study was to verify efficiency of stress ramp test to failure using air bike and to assess correlation between air bike performance and strength, endurance, and anthropometric parameters. The experimental group comprised 20 physically active individuals (average age: 22.1). The spiroergometric test protocol on air bike consisted of 3-minutes levels with no break. The testing led to high physiological values (HRmax = 189.7 bpm, RERmax: 1.12), the average test duration was 14 minutes. The most statistically significant connection (p = 0.01) with air bike performance was identified in fat-free mass (FFM) (0.86), back squat (0.83), bench press (0.84), 2 km row (−0.85). A less significant connection was discovered with VO2peak (0.68). Air bike was proven a suitable method for stress testing. Air bike performance depends mostly on FFM and strength parameters. Due to its specific usage (lower cadence, more strength focused work) that differs from running or stationary bike, it can be a suitable alternative for certain individuals or specific groups.
