Treadmill Tips
A treadmill is a piece of exercise apparatus that is typically used inside. The equipment lets the user walk or run while being in the same place. The word treadmill traditionally refers to a type of mill which was operated by a person or animal treading steps of a wheel to grind grain.
The machines belt moves from the front of the system to the back at varying speeds for a person to walk or run against. Thus the speed of the run can easily be set or measured (the rate at which the belt moves is the rate at which the runner moves.The delux, heavy duty models are motor driven, unfortunatly they are a good bit more expensive. For a less expensive treadmill that is simple and light, go with a passive version. It is not mechanized, and it is powered by the exerciser and just offers resistance to motion.
Treadmills History:
Treadmills were invented in 1875. The first machine was a "lever power" treadmill and was used for agriculture. To accommodate various sized animals they were manufactured in various sizes. The little treadmills were operated by dogs and sheep to deliver power to the fanny mills or butter churns they were connected to. The larger ones were driven by horses to run threshing machines.
The First Medical Machine:
The first medical machine was invented by UW cardiologist Robert Bruce in 1952 and he was called the father of exercise cardiology, along with UW staffer Wayne Quinton. The Standard Stress Test was invented to help diagnose lung and heart problems and to see the severity of those diseases. Quinton later sold his interest to Stairmaster, who was subsequently bought by Nautilus.
Tunturi Treadmill:
Tunturi was founded in 1922, and started as a bicycle repair shop. The Tunturi company is is given the credit by many individuals as the first manufacturer of physical fitness equipment, because of their well known W1 exercise bike. The company is based in Finland, and today they have the enviable reputation as probably being the leading and best-known manufactures of high class fitness equipment, which includes exercise bikes, rowers, and steppers.
Aerobics, Incorporated:
In the late 1960's Bill Staub noticed that treadmills were very expensive and were used mainly as medical testing machines. An affordable home treadmill was built by Staub who was trained medical engineer. He sent Dr. Cooper a prototype, and he was so impressed, he sold the first few hundred to people that were his referrals. Around 40 years ago, Dr. Cooper's business, Aerobics, Inc, started full scale manufacturing of PaceMaster treadmills. Since that time, they have evolved from manufacturing basic treadmills to manufacturing apparatus with computerized and automatic functions.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration:
The U.S. space program used treadmills onboard Skylab to keep the astronauts in good shape, while they were in a gravity free environment. The first treadmill that was used in the space by the astronauts was just a Teflon coated plate that allowed the feet to slide while the astronaut ran in place with bungee cord tethers.
