Treadmill configured to automatically determine user exercise movement. In some embodiments, a treadmill may include a deck, a first pulley disposed in the deck, a second pulley disposed in the deck, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, an electronic sensor incorporated into the treadmill and configured to automatically produce measurement data in response to exercise movement performed by a user over the deck, an electronic console including an electronic display, a processor, and a memory. The memory may include programmed instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to automatically analyze the measurement data produced by the electronic sensor to automatically determine a characteristic of the exercise movement performed by the user over the deck, and automatically present, on the electronic display, an indication of the characteristic of the exercise movement performed by the user over the deck.

A bounce treadmill is disclosed, with the main feature in that an annular running belt composed of a plurality of running belt units is arranged on a base, and each running belt unit at least comprises: a fixed seat, an elastic element and a running belt piece; wherein, two opposite ends of the fixed seat are respectively fixed to a pair of transmission elements arranged on the base, two ends of the elastic element are respectively fixed to the opposite ends of the fixed seat, two ends of the running belt piece are respectively fixed to the two opposite ends of the fixed seat, and the elastic element is connected to the bottom of the running belt piece, whereby when the running belt piece is bent and deformed under the weight to create a downward force, absorbed by the elastic element and an upward elastic force is provided.

A running deck assembly and a treadmill are provided. The running deck assembly includes: a front running deck; a rear running deck, wherein a front end face of the rear running deck is hinged with a rear end face of the front running deck by a hinge, and a hinging gap is located at a location where the front running deck is hinged to the rear running deck; an annular running belt, which is rotatably mounted around the front running deck and the rear running deck with a clearance; and a flexible layer, which is laid on an upper surface of the front running deck and an upper surface of the rear running deck and covers the hinging gap.

A running deck assembly and a treadmill are provided. The running deck assembly includes: a front running deck; a rear running deck, wherein a front end face of the rear running deck abuts a rear end face of the front running deck; a flexible layer, laid on an upper surface of the front running deck and an upper surface of the rear running deck; and an annular running belt, rotatably mounted around the front running deck and the rear running deck with a clearance.

A treadmill includes a frame having a front end and a rear end, substantially opposite the front end; a front shaft assembly coupled to the frame proximate the front end of the frame; a rear shaft assembly coupled to the frame proximate the rear end of the frame; a running belt disposed about the front and rear shaft assemblies; and a bumper coupled to the frame proximate the running belt such that the bumper is disposed between the running belt and the frame. In use, the bumper is configured to selectively restrict movement of the running belt towards at least a portion of the frame.

A motor-less leg-powered curved treadmill produced that allows people to walk, jog, run, and sprint without making any adjustments to the treadmill other than shifting the user's center of gravity forward and backwards. A closed loop treadmill belt running between front and rear pulley rollers is formed with a low friction running surface of transverse aluminum, wooden, plastic, rubber or carbon fiber slats attached to each other in a resilient fashion. An essential feature of treadmill is the concave shape of the upper portion of the belt running surface, the treadmill configurations ensure that this shape is maintained during actual use. These configurations prevent the concave upper running surface portion from being pulled taut into a flat shape between the front and rear pulley rollers. The slats of the treadmill each have an end view crossectional I-beam shape, for strength and stability of the slat positioned upon the treadmill belt.
