The main function of the Incline effect of the home treadmill is to increase the running resistance by adjusting the slope of the treadmill running board, so as to increase the resistance during the running exercise, thereby increasing the effect of cardiopulmonary function exercise, similar to our outdoor running. When running on a hill, the slope can be adjusted according to your own needs.
From the point of view of the exercise effect, the same exercise effect can be achieved without the ascension function, but it needs to increase the time. That is to say, the ascension function shortens the exercise time, and the effect is the same. It is more suitable for fitness people who often run and exercise. Generally, For home use, there is no need to add the ascension function.
At present, the Incline range of treadmills on the market is generally 0-10%, and some manufacturers produce 20% or even higher slope ascending treadmills as a selling point to meet the needs of consumers and market sports.
A treadmill with an incline ascent adjustment function can consume more calories, improve fat-burning efficiency, improve the running training effect, and even simulate mountaineering, making it more interesting.
Dr. Matthews Riel, Dean of the School of Human Behavior at A.T.Still University in the United States, conducted a comparative study on the training effects of incline treadmills and platform treadmills, and found that the training effect of incline running was several grades higher than that of the platform running. . However, many runners never use the treadmill to increase the incline, which is the most wasteful thing to do.
Dr. Riel took two groups of young people around the age of 30 as test subjects and asked them to train on an incline treadmill and a platform treadmill respectively. According to the principles of human exercise science, real-time heart rate, oxygen intake, energy consumption, and energy consumption were measured. Data such as the number of muscle cells involved at different intensities are used for comparative exercise studies.
Research has found that using an incline treadmill can satisfy some runners’ desire to get the best possible workout in a relatively small amount of time. First, the treadmill’s ramp feature puts more resistance on your glutes and Achilles tendon, which burns more calories as you climb. A runner can achieve a platform running speed of 6 mph while exercising at a 12-degree incline angle and a speed of 3 mph on the treadmill’s incline.
And when the incline increased to 16 degrees, a 2 mph slope run burned 360 kcal per hour, three times as much as a platform run at the same time.
Secondly, slope running can also complete the dual exercise of the cardiovascular system and the muscular system at the same time. Studies have shown that when the slope of the treadmill reaches a certain height, it can effectively train the gluteus maximus, hamstrings, and calf muscles. When the slope reaches a higher level, the proportion of muscle cells involved in the exercise will increase to 75% in the slope running, while this data is only about 20% in the platform running.
At this time, runners can effectively mobilize the aerobic energy supply system even if they walk at a low speed, give strong support to cardiovascular and muscle active tissues, and accelerate body fat consumption. That is to say, at the same time on the same treadmill, The dual exercise of the cardiovascular system and the muscular system can be completed at the same time.
