Abstract
A slat-belt treadmill is provided. The slat-belt treadmill includes a treadmill frame, a front shaft pivotally coupled to the treadmill frame, and a rear shaft pivotally coupled to the treadmill frame; a plurality of slats constituting a slat-belt, collaboratively rotating about the front and rear shafts, and forming an exercise surface on which a user of the treadmill may walk or run; a driving apparatus coupling to the slats and driving the slats to rotate about the front and rear shafts; and a light-emitting unit disposed under the exercise surface to provide a light source. When the slats are rotating, light from the light-emitting unit is intermittently visible as the slats intermittently block and reveal the light.
