The effect of a water treadmill on the human body

Muscle building and weight loss

Given that water resistance creates inertial movement, walking and running in it puts a lot of pressure on the lower muscles, which causes muscle building and burns four times more calories than in a state without water. To make better use of this state, the height of the water should be adjusted to below the knees.

Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation

The surface tension of the water in these treadmills helps maintain balance while walking and increases confidence while walking to help more spinal cord injured people recover.

Muscle Rehabilitation Using Weightlessness

When the body is immersed in water, a large amount of weight is lost. Considering the possibility of water intake up to a height of 125 centimeters in this type of treadmill, about 70 percent of the body weight can be reduced, and this capability helps to rehabilitate weak muscles.

Applying temperature changes

 Given the possibility of temperature changes in this type of treadmills in the range of 0 -37 degrees Celsius, it is possible to create the required temperature in the aquatic environment depending on the type of disease and injury.
