Abstract
To improve the dynamic response, a method is described for managing a physical exercise device (10) comprising an endless belt (16) to create a track on which a user (U) can walk or run, and an electric motor (30) to slide the belt. The method has the steps of controlling the driving torque applied by the electric motor (30) to the belt (16) so that the driving torque is proportional to the force component (F), or to the torque, which the user imparts on the belt (16) to advance on the belt (16).

Method for managing a physical exercise device (10) comprising an endless belt (16) to create a track on which a user (U) can walk or run, and an electric motor (30) to slide the belt,
- with the steps of
- controlling the driving torque applied by the electric motor (30) to the belt (16) so that the driving torque is proportional to the force component (F), or to the torque, which the user imparts on the belt (16) to advance on the belt (16).
Physical exercise device (10) comprising:
- an endless belt (16) to create a track on which a user (U) can walk or run,
- an electric motor (30) to slide the belt,
- a sensor (22) for generating an electrical signal indicative of the force component, or indicative of the torque, that the user imparts on the belt for advancing on the belt,
- an electronic circuit (40) configured for
- reading the sensor's signal, and
- controlling the driving torque applied by the electric motor (30) to the belt (16) so that the driving torque is proportional to said component or said torque imparted by the user.
