A treadmill (10) includes a frame (12) on which are rotatably mounted first and second transverse roller assemblies (14, 16). An endless belt (18) is trained about the roller assemblies. A deck (20) is disposed between an upper run of the belt and the frame. The deck is supported spaced from the frame by a plurality of cup-shaped elastomeric springs (22). The elastomeric springs reversibly deform upon downward deflection of the deck toward the frame. Each elastomeric spring (22) has a sidewall (50) tapering in thickness. The resistance to the downward travel of the deck provided by the elastomeric springs is proportional to the degree of deflection of the deck toward the frame.

Tapis roulant (10) comportant un bâti (12) sur lequel sont fixés un premier et un deuxième cylindre transversal à rotation (14, 16). Une bande sans fin (18) est entraînée par les cylindres. Une plate-forme (20) se trouve entre la laize supérieure de la bande et le bâti. La plate-forme est soutenue par plusieurs ressorts élastomériques en coupelles (22), qui la séparent également du bâti. Les ressorts élastomériques subissent une déformation non permanente sous le mouvement vers le bas de la plate-forme en direction du bâti. Chaque ressort élastomérique (22) possède une paroi (50) à profil aminci. La résistance offerte par les ressorts élastomériques au mouvement de la plate-forme est proportionnelle au degré de flexion de la plate-forme en direction du bâti.
