It sounds like something out of a science fiction film but anti-gravity treadmills actually exist. They used compressed air in a sealed chamber to reduce a runners weight on a treadmill by up to 80%. This creates less impact when running which reduces stress on joints and bones...an important issue for those recovering from various injuries.
Check out the video below....
From what I understand, there are a number of these machines in Ireland including the Mardyke Arena in Cork.
