According to livestrong.com Woodway Curve treadmill “boasts the patented Woodway belt, a slatted system that reduces impact on joints, but unlike other Woodway treadmills, the Curve is a non-motorized variety, powered completely by the runner himself. The curved design enables the runner to run at an ergonomically correct angle, and because the speed is controlled solely by the runner himself, there is no maximum or minimum speed, allowing for specialized over-speed training.”
