The research team of the Occupational Biomechanics and Ergonomics Lab (OBEL) of McGill University are initiating a collaboration with Musicmotion(TM) Technology inc., a Montreal-based company that has recently acquired a not yet commercialized exercise device currently called the Cyclopole that can be clipped to pedals of stationary bicycles to provide a means for exercise of the upper limbs. This assistive device is portable and makes efficient use of space in the gym or at home, and provides a way to enhance whole-body exercise that could be used for sports training, injury prevention and rehabilitation purposes. However there is a first need to precisely quantify the muscle loads induced by a typical exercise bout with this device. Without the ability to provide objective data identifying which muscles are used, and at what intensity, during specific exercise bouts with the Cyclopole, the marketability of the device to potential clients would be significantly affected. Therefore, the company needs to partner with a research team that can provide tools and methods to obtain this scientific evidence. Using state-of-the-art technology for muscle activity measurement and analysis, the research team will conduct a study with healthy adult volunteers to deliver typical muscle load profiles during exercise using the Cyclopole. This illustrated information could be incorporated into packages to present ways to optimize the use of the Cyclopole as part of effective exercise regimens. Musicmotion(TM) Technology inc. is a young Canadian company committed to making an impact on the very competitive fitness technology market. This rapidly expanding industry has great potential to leverage technological innovation to the benefit of human health at the rehabilitation and even at the prevention stages. By incorporating technology as part of exercise prescription and promotion efforts rather than as part of sedentary habits, developments by companies such as Musicmotion(TM) Technology inc. could help save the Canadian health care system billions of dollars.

麦吉尔大学职业生物力学和人体工程学实验室（OBEL）的研究团队在 发起与Musicmotion（TM）Technology Inc.的合作，一家总部位于伦敦的公司， 我买了一个还没有商业化的运动设备，现在叫做独杆，可以夹在踏板上 固定自行车的一种，为上肢的锻炼提供了一种手段。这种辅助设备是便携式的， 有效利用健身房或家中的空间，并提供一种增强全身锻炼的方法， 可用于运动训练、预防损伤和康复目的。然而，首先需要 精确地量化由使用该装置的典型锻炼回合引起的肌肉负荷。没有能力 提供客观的数据，确定在特定的运动回合中使用了哪些肌肉，以及强度如何 使用Cycopole，器械对潜在客户的可销售性将受到显著影响。 因此，该公司需要与一个研究团队合作，该团队可以提供工具和方法来实现这一目标。 科学证据使用最先进的肌肉活动测量和分析技术， 一个研究小组将对健康的成年志愿者进行一项研究，以提供典型的肌肉负荷曲线， 使用Cyclopole。这说明信息可以被纳入包装，以呈现方式 优化使用的Cyclopole作为有效的运动方案的一部分。Musicmotion（TM）Technology inc. 是一家年轻的加拿大公司，致力于对极具竞争力的健身技术产生影响。 市场这个迅速发展的行业有很大的潜力利用技术创新的好处 在康复阶段甚至在预防阶段，通过将技术作为 运动处方和推广工作，而不是作为久坐习惯的一部分，公司的发展 例如MusicmotionTM技术公司。可以帮助加拿大医疗保健系统节省数十亿美元。
