First Claim
1. A slat-belt treadmill, comprising:
- a treadmill frame;
a front shaft pivotally coupled to the treadmill frame;
a rear shaft pivotally coupled to the treadmill frame;
a plurality of slats constituting a slat-belt, collaboratively rotatable about the front and rear shafts, and forming an exercise surface on which a user 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;
wherein when the slats are rotating, light from the light-emitting unit is intermittently visible as the slats intermittently block and reveal the light.
