The SPRINT CLUB is not an ordinary treadmill. In fact it is the athlete who drives the belt by providing effort whilst being retained by a belt linked to a unit with a speed, traction and angular movement sensor. This assembly is coupled to a computerized system for the acquisition of data and consequent processing.
