The Health and Exercise Science Department recently
purchased a new High-Speed Treadmill for the Human Performance Lab. The treadmill has a top speed of 26 miles per hour. This can be helpful for high speed training to develop running speed. It is also useful for determining maximum oxygen intake testing using the 40° incline.
The treadmill can be used for rehabilitation since it has an unloading system capable of reducing the user’s body weight, allowing them to walk or run at lighter body weight. Safety is always a main priority in both rehabilitation and training, therefore it comes equipped with a harness system to prevent participants from falling.
