The ergo_run makes it possible to define and control the exercise sequence
yourself.
It is thus possible to adapt constantly the training plan to the capacities of the
user. This device is suitable for therapeutic use.
It does not meet the requi-
rements for medical and diagnostic usage (in medical clinics).
Ergometers are designed for endurance, agility, and physical condition trai-
ning, as well as for strengthening the cardiovascular system and increasing
the muscle mass. The inclusion of the pulse rate in the parameters used to
control the load enables training in the efficient aerobic zone.
Being in the aerobic zone means the muscles’ loading is at the exact level
where they can be adequately supplied with oxygen without overproduction of
lactic acid (muscles’ ache). Therefore, the treadmill ergometer is also a great
value for sports medicine and physical education.
The fact that the training effort can be finely measured gives you the possibility
to carry out physical stress tests to get information on your physical condition.
You can thus identify early any cardiovascular problems and, with the help of
a physician, set up a special endurance training-plan to deal with them.
Running is a very efficient training form for fitness. You can carry out a con
-
trolled running training at home without fearing any interference from bad
weather. The treadmill is also appropriate for walking (jogging) exercises.
Running on a treadmill belt differs from running on normal ground. Therefore,
you should prepare for the running training by walking slowly on the belt.
A steady running pace and appropriate shoes (running shoes) are of great si-
gnificance for the efficiency and the benefit of the training with the ergo_run.
The wrong shoes can lead to overloading the joints, tendons (sinews) and
ligaments. Please ask your dealer for advice when buying your running
shoes.
Training Hints
Generally speaking, training twice a week will help retain your physical con-
dition level. To improve your fitness level you must train at least three or four
times per week.
You should consult a physician before increasing the number of weekly
training units, to avoid overloading yourself. A steady running pace and
appropriate shoes (running shoes) are of great significance for the efficiency
and the benefit of the training with the ergo_run.
The wrong shoes can lead to overloading the joints, ten
-
dons (sinews) and ligaments. Please ask your dealer for
advice when buying your running shoes.
