The "Exercise Treadmill for Alpine Skiing" (later also called the "Slalom Run"), is a Treadmill similar in its principles to some of the other Exercise Treadmills, but much larger in its size. Its running length is about the same length as of many other regular Exercise Treadmills, but the width is about five times as wide as the one commonly used in other applications, to allow for the "Slalom skiing" like motion, similar to the motion of a skier making turns on Slalom snow skis. The running belt of the "Slalom Run" is driven by an electrical motor, which is attached to the frame and equipped with variable control of its revolutions. The motor's variable control is simulating the skier's speed (which can vary practically anywhere from 0 to about 50 km/h). The level (incline or decline) of the frame of the "Slalom Run" is also adjustable. Its adjustment is to simulate for the variety of terrain, which one can use in harmony with the belt's speed. The belt itself is made out of rubber, very similar to other regular exercise treadmill belts. The belt is marked (along its path) with several parallel lines, for better visual control of the athlete's performance (ability to reach with the boots or legs different paths at different speeds). In the front of the frame (in the reach of the athlete's arms) the "Support Bar" is installed. This bar serves not only for athletes to hold on to something while using the 'Slalom Run", but through its attachment to the frame the reactions between the "Support Bar" and the frame are measured and displayed. This feature allows the trainer or the athlete to evaluate and correct the "timing" of the motion in the executed turn.
