conference contribution

machines present in fitness facilities. However, treadmill
injuries contribute to many of the equipment-related injuries in
fitness facilities. Improper spacing, placement, and installation of
treadmills can increase the risk of untoward events and subsequent
legal liability for fitness facility operators. The aim of our study
was to analyse the spacing and placement of treadmills in fitness
facilities in Australia.
