How to choose a home treadmill method and experience

Choose the treadmill that suits your speed

 For the average person, the speed of normal walking training is about 6km/h, and the speed of running training is about 9-11Km/h. Therefore, choosing a treadmill with a speed range of 1-12Km/h can meet the needs of the family. It is. Of course, if you have higher requirements for your body training, you can choose a treadmill with a top speed of 16Km/h. The lower the starting speed of the treadmill, the safer. The national standard GB_17498.6-2008 evaluates the level standard of the treadmill to three levels, the A-level starting speed is <0.5km/h, the B-level starting speed is <2km/h, and the C-level starting speed is < 3km/h;

1. Select the right size motor based on the weight of the family member

    The electric motor is the most important component of the treadmill. The higher the motor power, the larger the running belt area that it can drive, and the more people can support it. Therefore, if there are heavy people in the family, such as more than 80 kg, then It is recommended to buy a high-powered treadmill. Again, please note that here is the continuous output power, not the maximum output power, there are some bad manufacturers in the product description to confuse users with maximum power. The general output power is nominally horsepower (Hp). Usually, a horsepower of a treadmill can provide a carrying weight of 50-60 kilograms. For a treadmill used in general households, the runner's weight is below 100Kg. If it is not used for long-term uninterrupted commercial running, the continuous output power should be 1.5- Between 2.0, you will be able to meet your needs. If you are heavier, you need to choose a treadmill with a higher power. You can usually choose a treadmill with a 2.75Hp or larger. If you weigh more than 140Kg, please use other methods to reduce your weight and then train your treadmill.

2, the width of the running belt selection

    The width of the running belt is important when purchasing a treadmill. The effective running area provides a safe and comfortable running environment. Only the running belt is wider, it will be more comfortable to run, and will not accidentally step on the edge. If you are only a child, you can buy a trumpet. If the whole family uses it, it is recommended to buy a running belt that is wider. Under normal circumstances, the effective running belt area must be at least 1100*350mm. Of course, the larger effective running belt area requires the treadmill to have a larger output power to ensure smooth operation. If the effective running belt area is around 1200*400mm, its continuous output power should be 1.75Hp to meet the requirements. After my own running practice, I recommend that the treadmill with an effective width of about 400mm should be quite comfortable.

3. Feel the smoothness of the running belt.

    When we use the treadmill, we need to keep it stable, so besides paying attention to the width of the running belt, we must also look at its stability. When the treadmill is running well, people should feel very smooth when running on the top, and wear well, no flaws. Movement, deviation, etc. On the contrary, it means that the quality of the treadmill is not good and should not be purchased.

4, choose the shock absorption effect is good.

    Long-term use of the treadmill requires careful examination of its shock absorption effect, otherwise it will damage the human body. Because during the running, when the single foot and the running belt are in instant contact, the pressure is large and the impact is great. If there is no reasonable shock absorption design, it will have an impact on the joints, bones and brain of the human body. Long-term use, causing a certain degree of sports injuries. The user's age and physical condition are different, and the requirements for effective vibration reduction are not the same. A good treadmill requires the damping effect of the running board in the shock absorption design requirements, and should be able to achieve 40% sand effect. This will protect your joints, bones and brain from shocks.

5, choose a firm and stable structure

    For example, if the steel specifications used are strong enough, the structural brackets should be welded and welded, instead of using bolts, the handle struts can be easily shaken, and the hand feel when folded, the weight of which indicates the quality of the materials, good The treadmill is thick and steady. In addition, the quality of the machine casing and the machine can also be seen on the surface, generally divided into painting and baking varnish, and the baking varnish is divided into single-spray single-bake and double-spray double-baked, its brightness and smoothness increase once, of course, the degree of oxidation resistance is also like this.
