ABSTRACT:
An underwater treadmill apparatus is made up of a treadmill belt trained over a drive roller and take-up roller, a fluid drive motor and flywheel coupled to a common drive shaft in direct driving relation to the drive roller, and an isolated power source outside of the body of water includes an electric motor-driven hydraulic pump to direct hydraulic fluid under pressure to the hydraulic drive motor. The upper course of the treadmill belt advances over a rigid deck having an upper cushion layer with raised straddle portions on each side, and the take-up roller is resiliently mounted at one end of the deck. A bonding grid break and sacrificial anodes are provided to inhibit corrosion, and the treadmill frame can be placed in compressible padding and be leveled from a point above the surface of the water, for example, when placed in a swimming pool.
