Acoustic and visual pacesetter influence on the energy expenditure in a cycling exercise.

CONCLUSIONS: This study confirmed the ergogenic effect of the acoustic pacesetter on a 30-minute steady state rhythmic exercise. Novelty is that the visual pacesetter too was able to increase the mechanical efficiency as the same manner than the acoustic one. The present setting adopting visual pacesetter could be used in special categories, such as the deaf or in innovative technological tools as head-mounted display devices.
