Variable resistance treadmill for simultaneously simulating a rolling and sliding resistance, and a moving inertia

摘要

The present invention is an exercise treadmill with included weighted plates. The treadmill is essentially a manual treadmill in which the user pushes or pulls on the treadmill to activate it. To operate it, one pushes against a stationary and adjustable hand rail or platform or pulls on a bar or body harness connected to a cable. The walking surface is a belt track similar to conventional treadmills but wider and longer. In such a manner, the user is provided with a system to transfer force from arms or torso (by pushing or pulling) to the feet, to the belt track, to the spindle and shaft, and thereon to the weights and rollers.
