The American Medical Association (AMA) has recognized
findings that Researchers at Milwaukee's Medical College of
Wisconsin reported in their product comparison study:
"Exercisers on treadmills burn about 700 calories per
hour, while exercising "somewhat hard", versus only 500
calories per hour on stationary bikes. On rowers, stair
steppers, and cross-country-ski simulators exercisers burn
about 600 calories per hour."

An aerobic comparison study performed by researchers at The
University of Texas which was published in THE JOURNAL OF
CARDIOPULMONARY REHABILITATION found that:
|
1.
At 3.0 - 3.5 mph walking speeds and 0.0% elevation, test
subjects processed an average of 26% more Oxygen V02
(ml/kg/min) while walking on an Orbiter than while
walking on a conventional (Quinton) treadmill.
and
2. Subjects' heart rate was also monitored during these
tests. These same test subjects' heart rate averaged
about 10% higher on Orbiter than on the conventional
(Quinton) treadmill. |
