Treadmill Test
The treadmill test has a wide range of applications in sports life science research. Use the running platform to get rodents to do running training. The test plays an important role in the study of physical endurance, sports injuries, nutrition, drugs, physiology and pathology.
Our company provides customers with comprehensive customized animal treadmill experimental testing solutions with our extensive testing experience and automated testing equipment. We are committed to providing our customers with powerful research tools in exercise therapy and disease research.
Introduction of Treadmill Test
The device for the treadmill test consists mainly of a rolling conveyor belt. The rear wall of the conveyor belt is equipped with stimulation electrodes and sound generating devices, and the stimulation devices of each channel are independent of each other. During the test, the rodents did running exercise training on a running platform with a set speed. If the animal refuses to move or moves at a speed lower than the experimental speed it will backtrack on the track and touch the stimulation device. Stronger electrical or acoustic stimuli will force the experimental animal to move at the speed of the running platform.

Experimental Flow
Our company is committed to providing customized testing processes to meet all of our customers' demands in relevant research.
- Pre-lab preparation and animal grouping.
- Before formal training, the animals are released to the track for a period of acclimatization.
- Place the experimental animals in the corresponding runway according to the number, and set the parameters such as the time, speed, and shock intensity of the treadmill.
- Record the corresponding parameter indicators during the training of experimental animals.
Parameter Indexes
Our extensive testing experience allows us to provide our customers with a wide range of parameters to evaluate for motion model building or drug screening. The evaluation metrics we provide include but are not limited to
| Indexes | Description |
|---|---|
| Expressions | Expressions before and after exercise and responsiveness to food. |
| Evasion | Ability to respond to experimenter capture of evasion before and after movement. |
| Running position | Stirrup running: strong hind limb stirrup, no contact between abdomen and ground. |
| Semi-recumbent running: the hind limbs stirred harder and the abdomen was in contact with the ground at times. | |
| Prone running: weakness of hind limb stirrups, abdominal contact with the ground. |
Applications
We offer treadmill test to help our customers achieve innovative research in the following motion-related fields.
