Those who go to the gym will know; In general, the training starts by running to the treadmill. After a respite, it starts to get tired and it is called “this punishment …”.
Hah, here is the “torture” here, in fact, because the treadmill is associated with the treadmill, the purpose of emergence, torture the prisoners! Let’s explore the dark history of this sports device together!
The treadmill was invented in 1818 for a very different purpose.
The purpose of the treadmill invented by British engineer Sir William Cubitt was to take the prisoners on top of them and to keep them walking and run.
Meanwhile, a considerable power was produced and this power; It was used in water pumping, mineral ventilation or wheat grinding. In other words, they had a kind of mechanized the prisoners.
This inhuman formula made sense to everyone.
The prison prisoners were adapted to the society with the treadmill (in this case we did not understand how to adapt …). In one -to -one time, they were also bringing the mill of turning stone. After the Napoleon wars, it was seen as a positive development for England, whose economics were adequately collapsed.
This ‘torture’, which was very positive for the economy, was of course in the opposite direction for prisoners. A prisoner spent an average of 6 hours of his day walking or running on these wheels.
If we explain a little more to revive in your mind; It was equivalent to climbing a ladder with 14 thousand steps. This meant an exercise of 1524 to 4267 meters. 4267 meters, the semi -point of Mount Lower Upper Everest and five days a week, if you think that you do very little, you can understand what kind of punishment it is …
Cubitt’s invention extended from England to the United States.
This procedure, which was used in more than 50 prisons in the UK, was now a significant number of prisons in the United States. The prisoners began to be able to eat properly due to this punishment, and they had exhausted properly due to resentment and disability in their bodies.
This system, which was used as a penalty until the end of the 19th century, was finally stopped by deciding that there was a murderous punishment with the Prisons Regulation in 1898.
Who is anxiety that years later, this method will be patented by the USA and will be used in different procedures?
The treadmill, which was patented in the US in 1911, took on its present form when we came to 1952. ‘Running and Healthy Life Madness’, which started in the USA on the 1970s, enabled the treadmill to reappear, and the human beings were caught in the fury of doing sports with their treadmills in their dwellings.
This device, which is indispensable for gyms today, had such a dark history …
