It is very important to maintain the correct running posture when using the treadmill. For people with poor physical fitness, it is recommended to hold the handrail while running, and do not use force (left). When running, you must hold your head up and chest out, presenting a posture in which your head and feet are as straight as possible (right). Treadmill is a very common exercise equipment, but accidents happen from time to time because of improper use or insufficient concentration. According to the statistics of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in 20 14 years, more than 24,000 Americans were injured by using treadmills and were taken to hospitals. Common conditions include fractures and abrasions. From 2003 to 20 12, there were 30 fatal accidents caused by using treadmills, and the danger should not be underestimated.
More than 60% of Americans' injuries due to sports equipment are related to treadmills.
Washington post also pointed out that a statistical report from 2007 to 20 1 1 showed that 66% of the injuries caused by using sports equipment were related to treadmills. In addition, the report also analyzes that the popularity of smart phones and other mobile devices makes people easily distracted by using these electronic products when running, and accidents also occur from time to time.
Mi Wei Xiang, the fitness coach of Uni-President Fitness Club, said that many people like to listen to music while running on the treadmill, and some people are used to playing with their mobile phones while running, and they often stare at the TV in front of them when running, which is prone to falling accidents. Mi Wei Xiang personally demonstrated the five safety strategies of treadmills and taught people to take safety precautions at any time when using treadmills to ensure their own safety.
Safety strategy for using treadmill 5
Description: 1/ Fasten the safety button first.
Before starting the treadmill, you must clip the safety buckle connected to the treadmill on your clothes or pants. In case the runner can't keep up with the speed of the treadmill, the safety buckle will fall off and the running opportunity will stop automatically to ensure safety. There is a safety buckle under the screen of the treadmill. Just clip the safety buckle on the clothes and let the thread of the safety buckle connect the treadmill and the runner. When the runner can't keep up with the speed of the treadmill, the safety buckle will fall off his clothes, and the running opportunity will stop automatically to prevent the runner from falling down on the track because he can't keep up with the speed or step on the back of the track.
In addition to the safety button, the treadmill can be stopped in an emergency. In an emergency, the user can also press the red button in the middle of the lower screen of the treadmill to make the machine "stop" immediately! However, coach Mi Wei Xiang warned that if the user can't keep up with the speed of the treadmill, when the human body is too far away from the button, he can't press it in time, and his face is likely to bump down after pressing it, which is even more dangerous. Therefore, coach Mi suggested: "It is safest to buckle the safety buckle! 」
