Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of detecting a lubrication status between a deck and a belt of a treadmill. The method includes: starting a lubrication detecting procedure of the treadmill by a user, making the belt driving system drive the belt to run for a period of time without the user on the belt of the treadmill, having the user walk on the belt of the treadmill for a period of time at a level state, having the user walk on the belt of the treadmill for a period of time at a predetermined angle. Thereafter, a central control unit of the treadmill calculates a friction coefficient between the belt and the deck of the treadmill according to measuring results of the procedures, and generating a suggestion of maintenance according to a level of the friction coefficient.
