1969, the world's first heart rate training treadmill was born in Tantelli, Finland. Installing heart rate monitoring on treadmill is a great pioneering work in the world, which points out the direction for the future development of fitness equipment in the world. Why is it so important? Heart rate is the best index of human body state during exercise. In Europe and America, it is a very popular concept to monitor heart rate, reasonably control one's exercise intensity and exercise scientifically, and heart rate fitness has also become a very important fitness index.
Classification by purpose
Household treadmills are divided into commercial treadmills and household treadmills, and there are light commercial treadmills if subdivided. Commercial ones are generally used in gymnasiums, clubs, star-rated hotels and other places with large professional usage, while domestic ones are generally used in places with low frequency and general carrying capacity such as families and small community clubs. However, the business type is in between, used in the unit gym and larger community configuration. It can not only meet the use requirements, but also control the cost budget, which is more economical and practical.
Classification by driving force
1. The mechanical treadmill is driven by the friction between the runner's feet and the running belt. Simply put, the electric treadmill is driven by a motor.
2. Electric treadmills are high-grade equipment in gymnasiums and families. It drives the running belt through the motor, so that people can run or walk passively at different speeds. Because running and walking are passively formed, they are almost the same as ordinary running or walking on the ground in terms of action appearance, but from the perspective of human strength, running and walking on an electric treadmill saves a pedaling and stretching action than ordinary running and walking. It is this that makes everyone who walks and runs on the electric treadmill feel very relaxed, which can make people run about 1/3 more distance and consume more energy than ordinary walking and running. In addition, because the electronic auxiliary equipment on the electric treadmill has many functions, you can experience different running environments, such as flat running, uphill running, hilly running, variable speed running and so on. And you can choose according to your exercise purpose.
Classification by function
1. There are two kinds of single-function treadmills in structure, one is roller treadmills and the other is flat treadmills. Roller treadmills are noisy at work and have been eliminated. Treadmill is an active exercise on which people exercise, so it makes people feel the same as ordinary running. Its electronic watch can help trainers to record speed, time, heart rate, heat, beat, distance and other indicators. Let you know your training situation at any time and make purposeful adjustments.
2. Multifunctional treadmills are composed of functional equipment such as treadmills, rowing machines, horizontal exercise bikes, vertical exercise bikes, relaxation machines, waist twisting machines, etc., which are loved by some people because of their multiple functions and small occupation. The exercise method is the same as the ordinary treadmill, but the multifunctional treadmill has some defects in comfort, convenience, accurate and reasonable technical movements and so on.
