Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1354612A1] The present invention relates to a method for controlling an electric treadmill (10) which includes emission type sensor sets (30, 40) (e.g. infrared, etc.) arranged at two proper places of the treadmill and connected to the control console (20), thereby creating air sensing fields (31, 41) covering a specific range. Therefore, the operator can give any intentional signal that is detectable by the sensor during the walking exercise session. Thereafter, the sensor orders the control console (20) to perform a control action to the controlled motor on receipt of the intentional signal of the operator. <IMAGE>
