Force Treadmill System

What is the Force Treadmill System?
The Force Treadmill Software for the latest athlete powered treadmill from Woodway.  The combination of state of the art non-motorized treadmill with powerful Windows software provides a testing and training system with stunning capabilities. 

Educational Resources:

The system is fully programmable and programs can be saved and recalled at will.  This permits development of very specific continuous and interval training protocols which mimic the target sport.  The Pacer function allows athletes and coaches to save a particular run and then call it up later to act as a pacer.  This means the athlete can "race" themselves, or at least their performance from say 6 months previously.

A tachometer mounted on the treadmill drum continuously records distance traveled.  From this continuous velocity time data is calculated.  A horizontally mounted force transducer permits measurement of propulsive force.  Combining distance, velocity and force data actual horizontal work done and power output are calculated.  Vertically mounted force transducers record the vertical force applied to the treadmill bed.

Trial endpoints can be set for time, distance, speed or work.  For example, a target distance of 100 meters can be set and then the athlete sprints over this distance and the data collection will finish at the 100 meter mark. Both Metric and English units of measurement are provided.

The Force models 3 and 4 contain a magnetic particle brake providing smooth resistance that the athlete works against.  This can be controlled from 0 to 57 kg (125lbs) by either adjusting the brake setting from the software interface or automatically changing according to your program designs. Program designer is used to specify an almost unlimited series of stages.  The duration, target speed, braking load, a visible prompt, and even a spoken command in the form of a sound file can be specified.
