Abstract
The Treadmill bicycle is a totally new way of moving with the
electric assist it takes no more effort to walk as a walk from A
to B. It comes with a small electric motor. Instead of your
scooter seat, there is a treadmill. As you walk forward on the
tread-mill, the treadmill pushes back and the electric motor
automatically gets activated. It senses you are moving and
activates the wheels which then keep the treadmill running
and ensures you keep walking. The treadmill bicycle also
comes with a brake. As soon as you press the brake, the
motor instantly turns off and the treadmill and the vehicle
stops. While going downhill, the motor senses the incline and
automatically stops working, relying on the natural roll and
force, saving energy.

Objective
Exercise is inevitable to keep health in good status. There
are few scientific studies to show the difference between
different types of exercises in health and disease.In our
study we compared the treadmill exercise and bicycle
ergometer exercise and their effect on maximum heart rate
attained, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood
pressure in twenty one healthy volunteer aged between
eighteen to twenty years. We recorded these subjects blood
pressure before exercise and after exercise heart rate
before exercise, during exercise and after exercise. Also we
enlisted the advantages and disadvantages of treadmill
exercise and bicycle ergometer exercise, so that these two
types of exercise can be appropriately used for health
promotion, diagnosis of diseases and for rehabilitation of the
individuals.
