Overview The Monark 928 Upright is an advanced medical ergometer designed for submaximal and maximal testing in clinical and professional environments. It integrates Monark’s Electronic Pendulum System (EPS) to deliver electronically controlled workloads with both electronic and mechanical calibration for high precision and repeatability. The low step-through frame and adjustable components support safe positioning for patients and test subjects.
Key features The EPS supports Constant Power (fixed watts irrespective of cadence) and Constant Force (fixed resistance in kp irrespective of cadence). The Monark Novo Duo display provides RPM, time, speed, distance, watt, kp and heart rate (ANT+). Low step-through access, a stable upright frame and modern wired/wireless connectivity make the unit suitable for clinical, occupational health, rehabilitation and research settings.
Use - Occupational health: work testing and functional capacity evaluations
- Medical rehabilitation: controlled aerobic reconditioning after illness or injury
- Clinical testing: submaximal and maximal VO₂ protocols
- Research and education: structured testing in labs, universities and clinical settings
- Fitness assessment: established protocols such as Åstrand, YMCA and Ekblom–Bak
- Advanced test environments: where stable workload, clear readout and connectivity to external systems are required
