Abstract
The Compendium of Physical Activities is a list of estimated energy expenditures of more than six hundred physical activities. No studies have established the estimated energy expenditure of the Thorotread treadmill. 14 active, college aged subjects (25.1 plus/minus 4.01 years), weight range of 100 to 220 lbs (169.3 plus/minus 38.4 lbs), participated in one bout of a 10 minute protocol. A 5 minute walking phase at 3.5 mph and an incline of 0.5 immediately followed by a 5 minute work phase pressing the console which applied a resistance at 15-20% of their total body weight. A paired samples t-test, P ?0.05, found energy expenditure during working conditions was significantly greater (8.73 plus/minus 1.51 METs) then walking conditions (5.38 plus/minus 1.15 METs).
