Treadmill

A treadmill is a sports machine on which you run and which is used for physical activity.

Basically distinction must be made between two different types:

• Electronically operated treadmills
• Operated from your own muscle power treadmills

Electronic

Electronically powered treadmills are usually driven by an electric motor. The top speed is usually below 20 km / h The tape can be, depending on the model, set at various speeds and angles of inclination, or allowed to get programmed exercise programs (eg, cross-country running or driving game).

There is no danger to pinch in the running around band, since the distance between the band and housing is only a few millimeters.

Mechanically

In addition, there are treadmills that do not have a motor and moving through the muscle. Some have this via a flywheel, by means of which the energy flow is smoothed.
