It is often due to the shoes when athletes get knee pain or back problems. But it's not just the shoe that can determine discomfort and ultimately the enjoyment of running; the training equipment also plays a not inconsiderable role.
Running is the most natural form of human movement and is therefore ideal for holistic fitness training. Running training poses a very high challenge to treadmills, as several times the body weight is transferred to the treadmill with every step. The same applies to the joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons runner, which is why not only the choice of the right training shoes, but also the choice of the right treadmill is immensely important.
Slatted treadmill for training that is easy on the joints
For this reason, and as an answer to conventional treadmill technology, WOODWAY, in cooperation with the German Sports University in Cologne, developed the joint-gentle slat technology more than 40 years ago, which absorbs a large part of the impact energy that occurs during running. Individual aluminum profiles arranged in a row with vulcanized rubber coating create an absolutely comfortable running surface, which promises optimal damping and thus an incomparable running feeling without negative influence on the biomechanics.
WOODWAY slat treadmills are now an integral part of the health sector and worldwide professional sports and are increasingly finding their way into the commercial fitness market. They provide users with a healthy and effective training platform and operators with a high return on investment due to their long service life and low susceptibility to repair, giving them a considerable advantage over the competition.
Contrary to many expert opinions, running does not harm the musculoskeletal system, by the way, but acts as a prophylactic - provided you use the right equipment, have the necessary technique and have an optimal running profile.
Those who adhere to this can benefit considerably from running activity. Running is said to have a positive and preventive effect not only on the body (strengthening the musculoskeletal system and cardiovascular system) but also on the psyche (stress and problem management).
