Treadmill, as a common fitness equipment, is widely used in gymnasiums, families and offices. However, when using the treadmill, there will be occasional injuries, which will lead to a waste of time and money, and worse, sometimes it will cause permanent physical injury. Here are some reasons for treadmill injuries:

1. Wrong posture or action

When using the treadmill, it is very important to maintain the correct posture and movements. For example, excessive tilting, backward flexion, excessive head-up or head-down and other unreasonable movements and postures can lead to injuries. If the posture and movements are incorrect, it will increase the pressure on joints, muscles and ligaments, leading to arthritis, muscle strain and low back pain.

2. Treadmill failure

If the treadmill breaks down or is damaged during use, it will also lead to injury. For example, problems such as sudden acceleration, sudden stop or uncontrollable speed of the treadmill may cause the runner to fall and get injured because he is out of control.

3. The maximum heart rate is too high

When a runner does high-intensity exercise on the treadmill, the maximum heart rate may exceed the safe range. This situation will lead to severe stress on the cardiovascular system and cause heart problems, such as arrhythmia and myocardial infarction.

4. Not suitable for people to use

The use of treadmills is not suitable for everyone. For example, patients with cardiovascular diseases, pregnant women and the elderly, especially those with joint problems, may increase their risks when using treadmills, especially during high-intensity exercise.

In a word, the treadmill, as an instrument leading the new trend of fitness, has many advantages, but the key is to use it correctly and keep proper attention. Even exercise frequency, amount of exercise, weight and so on need special attention, so as to avoid the injury problem of treadmill.
