With the increasing popularity of treadmills, most ordinary families can buy one for home fitness use. When buying treadmills, users also face various renderings about the selling points of treadmills. The load-bearing parameter has also become a point of intense publicity by major businesses!
The so-called treadmill bearing is the maximum body weight that the treadmill can carry. To make a simple analogy, the number of people and the maximum load bearing capacity will be written on the body of the bus that is usually taken. The truth is the same. We usually see households. Treadmill merchants are basically marked with a weight of 300 kg or even higher values. Therefore, one of the first problems is:
Is the home use treadmill the bigger the better?
First of all, we need to understand: The load-bearing value of a treadmill is closely related to the motor, the firmness of the machine, the steel, the thickness of the running board, the shock absorption, and the speed of the machine. At present, the maximum load-bearing capacity of general household treadmills on the market will be around 120kg, and there are also treadmills up to 150kg. If your weight enters the range of about 120kg or above, then you have to consider the maximum load-bearing range of the treadmill. Don't reduce the lifespan of the treadmill. More importantly, it is for your own safety. Of course, with the treadmill The design tends to be lighter and thinner, and some walking machines have also begun to appear in front of consumers. Although most of the standard weights are 100-120kg, they are the maximum values. Generally suitable for weights of almost 50~70kg, more than 80kg , The parts of the machine will start to run under load!
Under the premise of the treadmill load-bearing, it is the power of the motor. Only when there is horsepower, the load-bearing is possible. Therefore, the greater the power of the treadmill motor, the better. This question seems to be similar, but how many domestic treadmills are not the virtual standard horsepower? Don’t just look at the motor when the weight reaches 100KG. For example, those imported commercial treadmills are only marked with 2.0 horsepower. In fact, it is the brand. The standard load-bearing capacity of the brand's products is generally not different from the actual load-bearing, such as the top ten treadmill brands. .
Regarding the weight-bearing problem of home treadmills, here are some tips: when we are not too heavy, say less than 75kg conservatively, we don’t need to consider the weight-bearing problem of treadmills because any treadmill is enough to use. When the user weighs more than 100kg, you must carefully consider which treadmill to choose. The greater the power of the treadmill motor, the greater the relative weight. If you want to buy a domestic treadmill, it is best to buy a treadmill with a power above 4.0HP Of course, it is best to ask the merchant about the load-bearing capacity of the whole machine. Don't just look at the theoretical load-bearing value introduced by the merchant. There is still a big difference between the actual weight and the load. Without considering other factors such as prices, simply say whether the treadmill bears the larger the better, then the answer is no doubt. Of course, the configuration is better. After all, the performance is more powerful, and the choice of brand home treadmills is more guaranteed. .
To sum up, the weight bearing of the treadmill is only one aspect, and in the actual use of the treadmill, everyone’s running posture is different, the running posture is different, the way of exerting force is different, and the pressure generated is also different. Same, so multiple considerations are still needed!
