Definitions

  • the invention relates to an improved ergometric treadmill.
  • the invention relates to materials and equipment allowing the training of sportsmen in particular, but also authorizing the rehabilitation of people. This material is also suitable for carrying out research work for physiological and biomechanical purposes.
  • Motorized treadmills are already known which are capable of recreating the relative movement of a runner relative to a track by making the latter mobile.
  • the track is constituted by a belt in the form of an endless belt between two cylinders or idler rollers and driven by an electric motor whose speed is constant.
  • the speed level is adjustable or preset by a servo system.
  • Motorized treadmills of this type have limits of use and certain disadvantages which are: - for the athlete a set speed not allowing the sprint, nor to modulate the running power. - for the trainer, the researcher, and more generally the bio-mechanic responsible for establishing the trials and tests to assess the results, the impossibility for him to measure the external mechanical power supplied during the race.
  • a first aim sought after according to the invention was therefore to propose a device offering more flexibility of use and making it possible to measure the effort of the user in different racing situations, fast such as sprint, regular or deceleration.
  • Another object of the invention was to propose an apparatus making it possible to measure the power of the user in the different racing situations considered.
  • Another object according to the invention was to design an apparatus of simple design, inexpensive allowing simultaneous measurement of various other parameters.
  • the treadmill comprises an endless belt arranged in tension between two rollers positioned and held on a carrying frame, the runner being in action on the upper strand of the mat, itself held by a plate support associated with the chassis driving the treadmill, characterized in that the runner himself ensures the movement and the training of the treadmill by modulating and regulating himself the speed of movement of the treadmill, and in that the runner is attached to a belt itself associated by means with the carrying frame of the mat, having a freedom of movement in the vertical and lateral planes, and not in the frontal plane or of movement of the mat and in that measuring means are arranged on the runner's attachment and connection means and on the treadmill authorizing the recording and calculation of certain parameters such as the instantaneous vertical power and the power this instant horizontal runner.
  • the ergometric treadmill according to the invention is established on the basis of an operating concept different from the prior art, namely that it is the runner who himself sets in motion and drives the treadmill, thus being able to modulate will the different effects or racing situations sought.
  • the treadmill is referenced as a whole by (1) and comprises an endless belt arranged in tension between two rollers (2), these are suitably positioned and held by supports (3) on a carrying frame. (4).
  • the upper strand of the treadmill is itself held by a plate or support (18) associated with the chassis.
  • the runner (C) stands on the upper side of the mat and is held in a fixed position by a belt (5) fixed around his waist, said belt being secured on the side of the user's back to a grab bar (6 ).
  • the latter is articulated at one of its ends (6,1) to the upper part of a console (7) vertical in the rear part of the carrying frame (4).
  • the articulation of the bar allows vertical and horizontal movements of the user but not his frontal movements, that is to say forward, or backward in the direction of movement of the mat.
  • Sensors mounted on the conveyor belt and the holding bar are connected to a recording means (7) of the type, for example an electronic interface, and make it possible to obtain electronic signals (analog voltage) corresponding to the following data: - Treadmill speed - horizontal traction force of the runner. - vertical movement of the runner.
  • the speed of the conveyor belt driven by the user is calculated by a signal generated by means of the optical encoder type (8) associated with a frequency-voltage converter mounted on the axis of one of the return cylinders and mat training.
  • the horizontal forces exerted by the runner or user are calculated from a signal generated by means (9) of the force sensor type, for example with strain gauges mounted on the support bar.
  • the vertical displacement of the runner is calculated from a signal generated by means (10), for example of the potentiometer type, located on the axis of rotation of the grab bar.
  • the various means (8, 9, and 10) are connected to the aforementioned electronic interface (7) which allows, in conjunction with plotters (11, 12 and 13) to print and view the results observed.
  • the data acquisition and processing can be carried out on a computer (14) by means of a digital analog interface (15) and suitable software.
  • the interface and the software then make it possible to calculate and view the following data as a function of time.
  • - the horizontal pulling force of the subject or runner the speed of the treadmill
  • - the vertical displacement of the subject or runner the instantaneous vertical power provided by the subject or runner
  • the instantaneous horizontal power supplied by the subject or runner the total instantaneous power supplied by the subject or runner.
  • PV instantaneous vertical power supplied
  • the treadmill can be driven in a complementary manner by a motor (16) whose torque is constant so as to more or less compensate for the mechanical friction forces, the speed of the motor being free.
  • the level of the engine torque is adjustable by a torque control system. It should be noted that the compensation value of the motor torque can be established for a value close to zero simply compensating for the friction forces or reaching a value which can go up to 2 or 10 times in increase or decrease of these. this. - So when there is simple compensation of the friction forces, we are in the same conditions as a normal track. - If the engine torque is greater than the friction forces up to a value of 2 to 10 times those Ci, the subject must mainly retain the treadmill thus ensuring an eccentric type of training allowing overspeed.
  • the ergometric treadmill makes it possible to train a subject in environmental conditions superior to those existing on the track and therefore to obtain superior results in the long term and to improve the maximum speed or power of the subject. This is particularly advantageous for training fast races like sprints.
  • the invention finds many advantages.
  • the ergometric treadmill allows you to vary the speed, forces and powers supplied during the race at will. It offers possibilities of bio-mechanical measurements and analyzes impossible to obtain on conventional treadmills.
