Electric Treadmill

Treadmill is a standing fitness equipment in homes and gyms, and it is the simplest type of home fitness equipment today, and it is the best choice for home fitness equipment.

Technical details

1. Safety. For safety, the first requirement is to have a passive safety magnetic lock function, that is, once your body is separated from the treadmill, you can quickly stop the running belt to prevent serious accidents. The second most important thing is the active safety guarantee, which requires the motor speed of the treadmill to be stable, and there will be no sudden and sudden slowdown in speed. Most of the well-known brand treadmills in China use imported motors from Taiwan or the United States, and have passed the CCC certification, which can ensure the stability and reliability of the motors.

2. Continuous power output of the treadmill. Note that this is continuous output power, not maximum output power. General output power is nominal in horsepower (horse power, Hp). Usually one horsepower of a treadmill can provide about 50~60kg of load-bearing weight. For a treadmill used by ordinary households, the runner's weight is below 100Kg. If it is not used for long-term uninterrupted commercial running, the continuous output power should be 1.5- Between 2.0, it can meet the needs. If your weight is heavier, you need to choose a treadmill with higher power, generally you can choose a 2.75Hp or larger treadmill. If your weight is over 140Kg, please use other methods to reduce your weight first, and then do treadmill training.

3. Speed range of treadmill. Usually, the speed of people's normal walking training is about 6Km/h, and the speed of running training is about 9-11Km/h. Therefore, choosing a treadmill with a speed range of 0-12Km/h can meet the needs of the family. Of course, if you have special requirements for your physical training, you can choose a treadmill with a maximum speed of 16Km/h for training.

4. Incline adjustment or not. A treadmill with incline adjustment can greatly improve the effect of aerobic training, allowing you to consume more calories and better cardiovascular exercise in the same time. Under normal circumstances, the slope of the treadmill can be adjusted in multiple gears within the range of 0-12%, and some imported brands can even reach 25%. In fact, for the treadmill used by the family, 0-12% can meet the requirements, and the excessive slope adjustment is rarely used in general.

5. Effective running belt area of treadmill. The effective running belt area can provide a safe and comfortable running environment. In general, the effective running belt area should be at least 1100*350mm. Don't buy a treadmill with a smaller effective running belt area in order to save some money. You should buy a treadmill with the largest effective running belt area as much as you can afford. After my own running practice, the author suggests that a treadmill with an effective width of about 400mm should be quite comfortable. Of course, a larger effective running belt area requires a larger output power of the treadmill to ensure its smooth running. If the effective running belt area is about 1200*400mm, its continuous output power should be 1.75Hp to meet the requirements.

Whether it has folding and auxiliary mobile devices, after all, a treadmill generally covers an area of about 1700*750mm. If it has folding and mobile functions, it can save space when it is not in use and is convenient for home life.
