Abstract: A multi-layered belt, in particular a continuous running and/or transport and/or processing belt, includes a traction layer and a functional layer that contains a gel. To reduce the stress placed on the transported goods, in particular persons, the gel is an unplasticized gel and the functional layer consist of a coating containing the interspersed gel. In addition, to a method for producing a belt of this type is provided, in which the gel is poured in a continuous method onto the traction layer and a mixer and delivery unit is guided back and forth in a reversible manner perpendicular to the displacement direction of the traction layer in such a way that a gel layer with a uniform thickness is applied to the traction layer. Furthermore, the use of said belt as a running belt for persons, in particular as a running belt for training and/or fitness equipment is described.
