  1. Has anyone tried this or know if it simulates running well? Am thinking of getting one for our
    centre. Please see link

  2. I understand the mechanics of it, but how long can you hold your breath?

    it's not a problem, just before you lose conciousness, you leap up above the


    water and take a breath of air - then drop down again continue running

    You mean you try NOT to lose consciousness?

  4. huh..

    Don't you lose a large portion of weight in water? That will change running form.

  5. I have seen one installed in the rehab room of our local NFL team. They were singing the praises
    about it a couple of years ago, no idea if it really works.

    form.

    yes this is my main concern - the guy who manufactures them in Pennsylvania says that the running
    form is virtually the same as on the road with less impact - so I may have to plan a trip over there
    to check it out - nothing installed in Australis so far

    I see this as a much more practical and better simulation of actual running that the earlier
    proposed "water track". In this case running depth could be easily adjusted simply by
    placing the track in different depths of the pool. You aren't running against the resistance
    of the water, yet you are running at a depth that allows some impact to the legs. Another
    advantage I could see would be for a more gradual rehab process. Let's say a full deep
    water, no treadmill but with floatation deveice, running for a while. Then on the treadmill
    in rather deep water and then shallower and shallower water until your on dry land again.
    For regular training it would be nice to use for the occasional run to "save the legs" from
    a bit of pounding. Also a benefit to overweight runners just starting out. On the negative
    side you must still fight against the water while swinging your legs back and forth. I'd
    guess that as with deep water pool running your hipflexors are called upon a bit more than
    in Land running.

    thanks Matt - makes sense - it probably will work as you say for rehab and if you can change the
    depth of the water easily - just wish they had something set up that I could check out - will cost
    us around $35k (yankee dollars) to land in here -

    Again I'm in the wrong business..... Seems like a whole lot for a treadmill with fewer
    parts. Certainly "waterproofing" doesn't cost 30-33K, Assuming a normal TM cost 3-5K or so.

    I forgot to mention that these people supply the entire swimming pool and the treadmill is just
    a part of it - we would only buy it for our health club if we saw a financial return over a
    couple of years
