Abstract: A belt for a treadmill includes a carrier belt and a tread surface arranged on the carrier belt. The tread surface has pockets which are separate from one another. The pockets are filled, or can be filled, with a filler material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to functional footwear of a new concept, which adapts itself to the shape of a foot and gives a soft feeling when walking The footwear includes: an upper foot fixing section (1) for covering and fixing an upper portion of a foot; and a foot supporting section (8) attached to the upper foot fixing section for supporting a lower portion of the foot. The foot supporting section comprises a soft resilient mat (2) which can be deformed according to the shape of the foot. The footwear has a simple structure and can give a feeling of walking barefoot on a sponge mat or on a lawn like a extreme-soft-elastic carpet to provide complete comfort to the wearer during walking.

Abstract: The invention proposes a fitness and therapy mat for standing and walking made of foamed material for sport, gymnastic, and therapeutic purposes. The foamed material used has an open cell structure. Thus the elasticity of the foamed material structure alone determines the spring action of the mat when the mat is under stress. The spring action of the fitness and therapy mat approaches the ideal spring, and the resilience shows minimal damping.
