Ok, I think I've confused myself. :-S
How can the incline of a treadmill have any affect on the work done? Surely as there is no actual change in height, there is no change in potential energy and so no significant amount of extra work is done. Why then do treadmills even allow you to change the incline and why have I found equations that involve the supposed change in height? Do you see why i am confused?
Thanks
