Running surface for treadmill with trampoline-like surface

摘要

An improved trampoline-like belt for a treadmill includes an endless belt adapted to travel between end-supporting members. The belt is formed of a material which is resilient across at least a portion of its width to provide the resiliency necessary without springs to impart a trampoline-like sensation to a subject walking or running on the belt. The improved belt is designed for use with a treadmill where the belt is generally folded into parallel sections, the upper surface of which is adapted to form an exercising surface.
