What is a Wattbike?

• Exercise Bike
• Competition Bike
• Group Cycling (spinning) Bike
• Testing Bike
• Rehabilitation Bike
• Education Bike
• Preventative Healthcare Bike

Why is the Wattbike Different?

• The Wattbike
• Measures power output in Watts (comparable and
  repeatable results)
• Has a ground breaking computer console and
  software
• Measures 29 parameters 100 times per second
• Allows monitoring, evaluation of training and
  competition, never previously possible on an
  exercise bike

Using the Wattbike in Curriculum PE

• Provision of Health Related Fitness modules
• Teaching about training methods
• Identifying strengths and weaknesses
• With heart rate chest belt
• show physiological response to exercise
• measure heart rate in real time, pupils can see
  what happens to their heart rate as they work
  harder
• Targeting female participation and
  disaffected/obese pupils
• Good alternative to the cross-country
• Pupils who normally do not like PE love the using
  the Wattbike

Examination PE

• The Wattbike can be used to teach
• The physiological response to exercise
• How different energy systems at work
• Biomechanics
• Training methods
• The skills required to create a personal training
  programme

Using the Wattbike in ICT

• Manipulating data
• Working with .csv and excel files
• Displaying data in a graphical representation
• Creating presentations
• Processing text and images
• Capturing and presenting data
• Inputting information, processing it, and
  outputting it
• Measuring physical data
• Publishing information on the web
• Managing projects
• Working with video clips

Using the Wattbike in PSHE

• Target disaffected pupils
• Used to demonstrate health benefits of exercise
• Allows pupils to create inter form competitions
  within the schools, this can be managed by the
  pupils
• Excellent for teaching nutrition

14
Primary and Secondary Use

• The Wattbike is suitable for use by Year 5
  upwards
• Can be used by SSCOs and PLT to give primary
  school pupils taster of coming into the secondary
  school
• Allows talent spotting by the PE staff
• Allows development of teamwork by the primary
  school pupils
• Allows development of friendships with pupils at
  other schools

15
Staff and Community Use

• Provides staff with an opportunity to exercise
  within school
• Promotes exercise to staff members
• Makes staff more aware of the work of the PE
  department and gives them ideas about whether
  they can use the Wattbike within their subject
• Where possible community use should also be
  possible. This is one of the areas for
  development for the SSCO partnerships
