IMPACT SOFTENING

Comparison between running on a conventional treadmill and on AQUAFIT as regards intensity corresponding to the same caloric expenditure.

Terrestrial Treadmill Aquafit
Creatine Kinase Enzyme (CK) Pre Creatine Kinase Enzyme (CK) Post





Conclusion:

The impact caused by running on Aquafit treadmill is 45% lower than that of a conventional treadmill considering that the latter already provides certain impact reduction in relation to free running.
