The underwater treadmill is revolutionizing sports medicine, physical therapy, and conditioning. The treadmills are integrated into the floor of the pool and are welded for durability and safety. The track is rubberized to maximize traction. The treadmill has a maximum speed of 8.6 mph to simulate land activities such as running, walking, shuffling, and lateral movements without the stress that gravity puts on joints while on land.
This machine will benefit a multitude of people. For example, older adults with joint pain can use this machine to help train themselves to walk without pain. For athletes this treadmill is proven to be more effective in strength conditioning because the water's viscosity is greater than air, therefore there is more resistance.
