Guiding Role of Industry Design Concept in Fitness Equipment Product Design

ABSTRACT

This study provides an understanding of the relationship between industrial design, biomechanics and mechanics. The main structure of this study is focused on: examining the outdoor fitness equipment’s mechanism, analysing the mechanism’s concurrency with the human movement, and based on this, designing an appropriate mechanism. Based on the basic theory, instrumental effect, main methods and knowledge database on industry design concept, this paper explores the application principles, effectiveness and innovative design along with the experimental methods of industry design concept in the field of family exercise equipment designing. And through the innovative design example of leg stretching equipment, the experimental methods have been verified for its effectiveness, which provides an important reference for the application of the industry design concept in the exercise equipment designing field.
