Dr. Krams, a professor at the University of California Berkley, published a research study and found that walking and running on an adequately motorized and flywheel weighted treadmill is identical to overground walking and running. Normal fitness treadmills are NOT adequately motorized and flywheel weighted. The Athletic Republic Super Treadmill is unlike any other treadmill in the world. It has capabilities of a 40 degree grade and 30mph, therefore training on our treadmill is identical to running on a track or overground. Furthermore with more than 100,000 athletes now trained on our program, the calculated training bouts combined with the proven benefits of incline treadmill running documented in the ACSM Journal by Steve Swanson, make the Athletic Republic Program the leader in sports training.
