1. Continuous high power operation
Treadmill is a kind of dynamic fitness equipment, which needs to be driven by motor, and the motor power is generally between 1.5-4 horsepower. Human movement will also have an impact on the load of the motor. If the user carries out high-speed and steep-slope exercise, it will also cause a greater load on the motor, which will cause the treadmill to consume more energy.
2. Power consumption of electric control board
In addition to the motor, the treadmill also needs to be equipped with electronic control panels and other components to control the motor and display motion data. These components also need to consume energy when working, especially the electric control board, because its main function is to control the speed and motion state of the motor, which needs to consume considerable electric energy.
3. Equipment maintenance
After the treadmill is used for a period of time, there will be some failures or problems, such as pulley lag, motor failure, electronic display failure and so on. These problems need to be repaired or replaced, which will also bring extra load to household electricity and make the treadmill consume more electricity.
4. Air resistance
When using the treadmill, athletes breathe air while running, which will cause extra load on the treadmill, thus increasing the current demand of the treadmill and consuming more electricity.
When using the treadmill, in order to save energy, the following measures can be taken:
1. Adjust exercise intensity and slope to reduce motor load.
2. Keep the equipment dry and clean, and maintain it regularly.
3. Try to choose an energy-saving treadmill.
4. When using the treadmill, you should pay attention to your exercise state, avoid excessive exercise and reduce the load of the motor.
In a word, the power consumption of the treadmill is mainly caused by the operation of the motor, the power consumption of the electric control board, equipment maintenance and other factors. However, through the scientific and reasonable use of equipment, the energy consumption of the treadmill can also be reduced and the burden on the environment can be reduced.
