<p>A method of the present invention provides detecting of a motor used for driving the belt of a treadmill to determine whether the treadmill is in an idle running condition or a loaded running condition. The idle running condition indicates that nobody is on the treadmill. The motor may be maintained at a designated running speed. The motor may be stopped after the expiry of a predetermined time or by an input to a control panel of the treadmill. If the motor is in the loaded running condition, a further step of the method involves determining whether it is in a continuous loaded condition or an intermittent loaded condition. The intermittent loaded condition indicates that a user is running on the treadmill. The motor may be maintained at a designated running speed. The motor may be stopped after the expiry of a predetermined time or by an input to the control panel of the treadmill. The continuous loaded condition indicates that the user has stopped running, but is standing on the treadmill or the belt is jammed. In such a case, the motor is stopped.</p> |
