Introduction of related configuration technology of treadmill
Width of running belt
At present, the running belt widths of treadmills on the market are mainly 42cm (slim use), 45-48cm (general public standard) and 52cm (high comfort).
The wider the running belt, the larger the range and space of running swing, the easier it is for the body to stretch, and the more comfortable and safer the experience is, and the higher the price is.
horsepower
Continuous horsepower: the continuous output power of the treadmill motor.
Peak horsepower: the maximum power that the treadmill motor can output.
1 horsepower supports a load of about 70kg, 1.0-2.0HP is the sustained horsepower value of the relatively entry-level home treadmill, 2.0-3.0HP is the sustained horsepower value of the middle and high-end models, and above 3.0HP is the sustained horsepower value of the imported high-end models.
When using the home treadmill, we usually jog continuously, and 9- 1 1km/h is a common running speed, so we need to focus on the size of continuous horsepower. If the weight exceeds the motor power for a long time, the running opportunity will be very tired, and running with load for a long time will reduce the life of the treadmill.
Absorb impact
Treadmill shock absorption mainly includes spring shock absorption, silica gel shock absorption, air pressure shock absorption, suspension shock absorption and so on.
Silicone shock absorption: or rubber shock absorption, mainly placed on both sides of the running board.
Spring damping: the spring is mainly placed at the bottom of the motor or on both sides of the column.
Suspension shock absorption: separated base, running board suspended on the base.
The effect of shock absorption plays an important role in protecting knee joint and ankle joint, so the shock absorption ability of treadmill is also one of the most important standards.
slope regulation
Manual adjustment or electric adjustment. Mainly to improve the efficiency of burning fat, simulating mountaineering and hill running. Compared with normal running without slope adjustment, it can have better exercise effect.
2. Selection criteria and recommendations
It is recommended to focus on the following five purchase criteria.
brand
At present, Shu Hua, Qiao Shan and Easy Run are better brands of domestic treadmills, while Ai Kang, Sur and Reebok are better brands of imported treadmills. It is suggested to choose domestic brands around 3k, and professional athletes can choose more expensive imported brands according to their needs.
Width of running belt suitable for the body
When shopping, you must have enough area to spread your body. If the running area is limited, you can't show your body when running, and it is easy to step on the boundary when running, and even cause sports injuries. No matter which treadmill you choose, you should consider this safety factor.
Everyone has a different body shape. It's best to choose a moderate space according to the body shape of yourself and your family, and try to ensure that your feet don't touch the edge of the treadmill when running. My 52cm running belt width is very suitable (ps, my shoulder width is 39, my shoulder width is 46). It is suggested that the width of running belt above 46cm should be selected as much as possible.
Note that the width of running belt mentioned here does not include the width of running belt. Generally, the sum of two running belts is about 16cm. Some merchants mark the running belt plus the width of the running belt. Pay attention to the actual running belt width of the treadmill in the product details.
Weight and horsepower should match.
The continuous horsepower is below 1.0hp, which is more suitable for people under 70kg. If the weight exceeds 70kg, it needs higher continuous horsepower, and try to choose 1.2hp or above .80 kg or above, 1.5hp or above; 100kg at least 2.5hp or more.
Pay attention to shock absorption and protect your knees.
The shock absorption experience is subtle and unclear. Many merchants introduce their main shock absorption technologies. Are there any gimmicks in these terms? Just like this keep treadmill I entered, there is no specific shock absorption technology in details, only the evaluation standard of shock absorption composite professional running shoes, which has not felt anything after two years of use. This thing may only be identified by price.
slope regulation
With slope adjustment, better fat burning efficiency and training effect can be achieved.
silent
The motor drives the pimp to run with friction, the sole hits the running board and so on. , will produce noise. Many businesses only test the noise of pimps driven by idle motors. In order to avoid complaints from neighbors upstairs and downstairs, this is also an important aspect to be considered. My family has been running it for more than two years, and I haven't received any complaints. It is suggested to place a shock absorber at the bottom of the treadmill to reduce the noise of the treadmill.
Others, such as folding storage, heart rate test, training courses, intelligent hardware collocation, color screen, etc. In my opinion, they are all dispensable.
For example, folding storage once thought that folding storage could save more space. But in fact, once the treadmill is arranged, it will basically not move. Put it away once and open it next time. I don't think most people want this. So there is no need to care too much about this.
Heart rate detection, many treadmills have the function of detecting heart rate at the handrail. But now people generally use smart bracelets to monitor data around the clock, and it doesn't matter whether there is this function on the treadmill.
Nowadays, treadmills are basically equipped with intelligent hardware, either providing their own apps or cooperating with other apps to monitor and analyze data, and also providing rich training courses. Don't worry about this piece
Let's talk about color screen first. If everyone likes it and tends to be practical, there is no need to care too much. The treadmills at home are basically pure running, and the functions are too fancy to buy. Moreover, watching videos or other things while running is prone to safety accidents.
Summary: Choose the appropriate running belt width and horsepower according to height, weight and body shape, and try to have the function of slope adjustment.
