Runners need to move 15 per cent faster on a treadmill（跑步机）to burn the same number of calories as jogging outdoors， research reveals.
Researchers from Milan University analyzed the difference between running outdoors and on a treadmill in 15 physically fit males with an average age of 21. The participants completed a sprint（短距离快速跑） for 30 seconds followed by 30 seconds of recovery for a total of 15 minutes both outdoors and on a treadmill. Oxygen use and exercise intensity were measured after both types of running.
The findings were published in the journal of Applied Physiology， Nutrition and Metabolism. Results revealed that when on a treadmill， runners use significantly lower amounts of oxygen， suggesting less effort is required. Therefore runners must move 15 percent faster on a treadmill to burn the same amount of calories as exercising outdoors， the study stated. The study authors wrote， \15 per cent increase in running speed during a period of stopping and starting often in high intensity treadmill training session is the best possible solution to reaching the same physiological responses as an outdoor training session.
