Study On Humanized Design Of Outdoor Body-building Equipment

Outdoor body-building sport has become an important way in building national physique, realizing the national body-building program in china now. The success of Beijing Olympic bid will particularly launch a tide of this body-building. It may be predicted that the output of outdoor body-building equipment products will continue to grow. We should recognize that outdoor body-building equipment is facing crises and challenges although it existing broad developing prospects .Some well-known foreign manufacturers have realized the enormous potential in the development of that China's outdoor body-building equipment market, and have began to produce body-building equipment independently or cooperate with domestic enterprises. Undoubtedly, this will bring great impact to the domestic body-building equipment enterprises, and make them who produce outdoor body-building equipment mainly do something ahead. On the other hand, the rapid development of modern science and technology has greatly changed the lifestyle of the people. It created a huge grey health group while bringing unprecedented broad human living space and favorable living conditions. In modern city, the numbers of this group which the proportion in the total population is becoming increasingly higher have been growing year by year. The best way to solute this problem is to mobilize and encourage people to participate in physical body building sports actively. Therefore, it has been in a very important position about how to promote the related study of body- building sports development. According to this background, this study makes the outdoor body-building equipment as a research object. The outdoor body-building equipment is still in the development stage now, there still existing some design issues to be resolved, the needs and characteristics of people in outdoor body-building equipment have not been reflected in the design, so it failed to meet the trains'aesthetic needs and the use of demand. Therefore, it has a certain academic and practical significance of this paper to do the study of humanized design on outdoor body-building equipment.Firstly, chapter I of this paper introduces the definitions, classifications of outdoor body-building equipment, etc. Then investigate and analyze the present common outdoors body-building equipment. Through the investigation we discovered that the single-function body-building equipment is the main one, and analyzed the reason for such a situation. Moreover, we have understood the demand condition of the latent health sports group and this product's development direction, which has provided a reliable basis for the later research. Based on this, the paper induces the achievements of present outdoor body-building equipment from different angles in humanized design, and analyzes several questions in some aspects which exists in this domain, then initially forms the research idea of humanized design about outdoor body-building equipment.According to the domestic research literature, chapter II induces the development process of the humanized design, from which we could know that there have been existing humanized request and twilight state's humanized design in the decorative design stage. Then makes a synthesis outline to the humanized design and introduces the definition of it. After that, we focus on the reasons of the humanized design in outdoors body-building equipment: Firstly, the people pay more attention to the body-building, so they proposed higher request to the outdoors body-building equipment design. The more modeling form suit to body constitution they pursue make them request product not only satisfy person's physiological needs, but also person's psychological needs, not only be practical, but also must be suitable. Not only be suitable, but also be entrusted with many esthetic, emotional, cultural and spiritual meaning in the design; Secondly, there still existing deficiencies and problems to be solved in the area of humanized design; Thirdly, humanized products are always the most attractive products, it can expand the market share of products and enable enterprises to enhance market competitiveness if they carry on humanized design to product. On this base, we propose the main method to realize humanized design in the outdoor body-building equipment, namely, carrying on human-machine engineering and the reasonable designing expression to the product.The third chapter is the key of this paper, on the base of the above investigations and researches, we focus on the study of humanized design in outdoors body-building equipment. Firstly, the concept of humanized design of outdoors body-building equipment is discussed which provided the direction for the paper research. The core of the design are the man, all designs are actually based on human. Therefore, we put"human"as the most important one in the research, discuss human-centered and person's attribute question of the general humanized design, and make a concise elaboration in the natural attribute and the social attribute on the product with the design expression means. Based on this, the human-centered content of the outdoors body-building equipment design is proposed. Then introduce the concept of human-machine engineering and its evaluation criteria. Which aspects should the designer obtain from, according to what kind of standard to solve problems when they carry on the human-machine interface design in outdoors body-building equipment, they propose some easy and feasibly improved method unified with some examples. Finally, the chapter analyzes detail how to make a humanized expression on the modeling, the color, the material which is three essential design factors of the outdoor body-building equipment, and proposes some solutions and the design ideas.As a symbol conveying kinds of information, the modeling constituted a product language in modern design. The utilization of modeling of outdoor body-building equipment is the way to realize dialogue between the equipment and the users. This kind of dialogue resorts to the intuition way, take its own function of the equipment and user's latent expectation as the ultimate objective. The outdoor body-building equipment's modeling enable the product to display its cognition function, let people know what this product is, which function it has, how to use as well as what its meaning. Moreover, it may display its esthetic function, give people a cordial and warm feeling and an understanding of life meaning. In particular, we should point out that must the outdoor body-building equipment in modeling aspect abandon the images of ice-cold, huge and complicated, manifest equipment's affinity with every effort, create a kind of entertainment body- building concept, satisfy user's psychological need well, truly manifest the concern and the respect of design to person.The product outward design is inseparable from the same color expression. The matching quality of color plays a positive role and has a practical significance in expressing body-building equipment's quality, enhancing attractions and appealing people's aesthetic requirements, coordinating the physiological and psychological balance and improving the utilization efficiency of the body-building equipment, creating a comfortable environment for using, etc. It will achieve good design results if the color design of products could organically integrate the synthesis esthetic sense of the shape, the color and the form with the essential content of human, machine and environment. When design, you may use the color in a higher purity and brightness. This can make body-building equipment come clearly out in the environmental color or the background color, which could attain the effect of contrast to reconcile and changes in unification. The chassis, frame and other components of body-building equipment may be used firm, stable color. This can make the exercisers feel that the body-building are stable and reliable and give people a sense of security and affinity. Generally, the structure of handles holds grasps and so on are used in more vivid and more gentle colors which will make people feel relaxed and comfortable. Generally speaking, the color of outdoor body-building equipment should have good recognition, and the sense of affinity and attraction.In addition, the material is the material basis of product design. It influences both modeling and color of equipment. As the exercisers contact directly with the equipment, so the kinds of the material also relate to the health and body-building effect of them. On designing, you may use engineering plastics materials in parts of the equipment which direct contact with the body. This sort of materials is soft and warm that can give people the feeling of nature and comfort.According to the analysis and study in before chapters, chapter IV induces the principles of humanized design, namely, security, feasibility, comfortableness, universality and entertainment.In view of the humanized design, chapter V conceives that the future development trend of the design of outdoor body-building equipment will be a concern for the disadvantaged groups, seeking interesting entertainment, the esteem green environmental protection.The main feature of this paper lies in systematically inquiring about and summarizes methods for the humanized design according to the insufficiency and problems in designs of outdoor body-building equipment. This provides a theoretical and methodological guidance for humanized design as well as certain reference for research mentality of design. Through the research of this topic, it has a universal guiding significance as it make the author accumulate many experience and theoretical basis for design project of other products in the future.
