1、Designation:F281010An American National StandardStandard Specification forElliptical Trainers1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2810;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThe goal of this specification is to promote proper design and manufacturing practices for ellipticaltraining equipment.Through these specifica
3、tions this standard aims to assist designers and manufac-turers in reducing the possibility of injury when these products are used in accordance with theoperational instructions.The equipment user must recognize,however,that a standard alone will not necessarily preventinjuries.Like other physical a
4、ctivities,exercise involving fitness equipment involves the risk of injury,particularly if the equipment is used improperly or not properly maintained.In addition,users withphysical limitations should seek medical advice or instruction from the fitness facility,or both,priorto using this equipment.C
5、ertain physical conditions or limitations may preclude some persons fromusing this equipment properly and without increasing the risk of serious injury.1.Scope1.1 This specification establishes parameters for the designand manufacture of elliptical training equipment as defined in3.1 for use in an i
