The zero gravity treadmill is always a common sight in almost every rehab center of all professional sports teams in North America. It was combined with this extraordinary device, which was developed with NASA technology, take a look at today's elite units including: the futuristic treadmill under pressure, the vertical and horizontal treadmill treadmill even NASA.
Treadmill under pressure (or Anti Gravity Treadmill)
Built by Alter-G Inc., Menlo Park, Calif., the G-Trainerhas been developed to keep astronauts fit while living and working in zero gravity of space near. But he was also tried and enjoyed recently by professional athletes who are high-tech rehabilitation after door with sports injuries. It worked so effectively, in fact, that the world and Olympic runner involvement in anti-gravity began their training with this innovative machine.
The treadmill is a great pressure inflatable plastic bubble that covered the lower partthe body of a runner while the person is on a treadmill in the bladder. The runner is compressed in the chamber from the waist down, like a kayaker splash, while the upper body remains outside the bubble. Once the system pumps air into the tent air tight, the air pressure rises on the rotor to create an environment of zero gravity treadmill.
The device offers a very comfortable environment and feels a bit 'as running in water - or bouncing in zero gravity on the moon orinside the space station. Since the user usually leads to the treadmill, low-gravity chamber effectively reduces body weight in half, reducing the impact on their shoulders, knees and joints. In this way, athletes and astronauts to train for longer without getting tired, and work more efficiently in rehab without fear of re-injured body part.
Vertical Treadmill
Have you seen Spiderman do in films, but you can do a physical wall? Yes, it is now possible with a$ 10,000 device known as a vertical treadmill. It is basically a self-powered wall of the tread and you can have a seen a big sports shop or a gym.
How it looks: It 'easy to imagine the vertical treadmill - just returned from a climbing wall with a sliding treadbelt the rollers on the top and bottom is imaginable. The wall panels slide as you climb. Spidey uses micro-hooks the fingers of his suit, but they put on the wall unit with knobs for climbing are available.(Here's a video to get an idea of what to get.) To make it fun and adventure, the wall tilts forwards so you can start with an easy climb, or tilts back so that you are trying Angle of a difficult maneuver. It also has a Polar heart rate monitor so you can check your cardio fitness.
Obviously this is a kind of futuristic "treadmill" that requires an effort of the entire body including the conditions of work behind, arms and back. It must "climb" is not very high because the beltDownward motion, while you try to have upwards. You feel safe in a place a few meters above the ground so that the little problem that comes with real free-form climbing - falling to his death.
Horizontal treadmill
NASA has a new treadmill to help landscape, astronauts prepare long-term missions and developed during the life of the proposed lunar station by 2020. If you read science fiction in the space, you are already familiar with the problemsPeople experience a weightless environment, such as bone loss and muscle atrophy. Currently, the crews living aboard the International Space Station daily exercise in order to overcome the effects of prolonged weightlessness on the body.
What it is: In Zero Gravity Locomotion Simulator Standalone, the astronaut is then placed horizontally through the cable next to a vertically mounted treadmill where their feet are swift to run and can be hung on the walls. And 'some' of confusion, sinceis the man who is horizontal here - but otherwise it seems that this is a vertical treadmill, as well as a treadmill in zero gravity. The simulation of weightlessness in this manner allows the user to the physiological effects of space on foot, and information as to imitate the spaceman a feel for the conditions in which experience in each weight.
This is a cool toy, but a major drawback: the price is steep for these machines suitability of NASA, in the district$ 75,000.
Like the zero gravity treadmill, this horizontal model is all about exercise, the new body ways to avoid the loss of muscle strength through a combination of aerobic and cardiovascular training will be compensated. These machines are designed for astronauts, but they work well for earthbound athletes.
