ABSTRACT:
A deck suspension system is provided to support the belt of a treadmill with improved shock absorption from foot impact. In the preferred embodiment, the deck is suspended by a pair of cables on either side of the deck which terminate in cushions. A second pair of cables couple the intermediate deck to the framework with cushion adjustment to provide a soft or stiff cushion deck. Deck deformation distributes foot impact to a variety of shock absorption cushions to reduce leg injuries from extended exercise.
