Description
The Vortex Curved treadmill boasts 6 levels of speed so that you can train on no resistance for maximizing speed or high resistance for emulating sled pushes.
Unlike running machines that require electricity, curved treadmills do not. The curved running surface puts a greater demand on the user than a traditional motorized treadmill
This is a versatile piece of cardiovascular equipment that has many applications:
Aerobic Fitness
Anaerobic Power (Speed Training)
Anaerobic Capacity (Including: Interval Training, Timed Intervals, sled push, etc.)
Max speed/Speed Training (Overspeed training, Technical work, Sprint Drills (Acceleration technique, Bounding))
Decreased Ground Reaction Force Training (including Quick Leg Cycle, and Powerful Strides)
During your run, the curved treadmill recruits more muscles. The glutes and hamstrings, in particular. This is due to the propelling technique required to drive the running belt forward (similar to running outside).
A curved treadmill also helps to reduce the vertical displacement of the body’s center of mass (COM). As a result, energy expenditure is increased.
