Hi Mohammad,
We do not have any information on the actual treadmill belt speed. The treadmill was accelerated at a rate of 1.0 m/s^2 from a starting speed of 0.8 m/s to the top speed of 1.4 m/s. Then, the treadmill was decelerated at the same rate down to 0.8 m/s. If you would like to calculate the approximate speed of the belt, you could calculate the speed of the foot with each step and then use this to approximate the belt speed.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Allison
