Summary

Runners need to increase speed on lower body positive pressure (LBPP) treadmills to match metabolic costs. This study provides a conversion table for LBPP treadmill speeds to equivalent regular treadmill exertion levels.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Biomechanics
  • Sports Science

Background:

  • Lower body positive pressure (LBPP) treadmills reduce body weight (BW) during running, lowering metabolic cost.
  • Increased running speed can offset reduced metabolic cost, but precise speed adjustments for LBPP treadmills are not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a user-friendly conversion table for LBPP treadmill speeds to match metabolic output on conventional treadmills.
  • To quantify the speed increases required on an LBPP treadmill across various body weight support levels.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty recreational runners completed running intervals on both regular and LBPP treadmills.
  • Metabolic outputs were measured and matched across different BW support percentages (50-100%) on the LBPP treadmill.
  • Regression analyses were used to develop the speed conversion table.

Main Results:

  • A conversion table was successfully developed for speeds ranging from 6.4 to 16.1 km/h (4-10 mph).
  • Higher BW support on LBPP treadmills necessitated greater speed increases to match metabolic output.
  • The proportional speed increase required was smaller at higher running speeds.

Conclusions:

  • The developed conversion table aids coaches and practitioners in prescribing training on LBPP treadmills.
  • Understanding these speed-metabolic relationships is crucial for effective training and rehabilitation using LBPP technology.
