Research On Guangzhou Elderly Community Fitness Facilities Based On Anthropometry

China’s social aging problem is increasingly seriously,all sorts of problems associated with aging forces us to pay more attention to the special group of older people.The body health and the happiness of the elderly are all related to the overall social well-being.Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong province,the openness and inclusiveness of Guangzhou has created a distinctive character of Guangzhou elderly.With the actively promotion of sports spirit in Guangzhou,Guangzhou elderly have a strong sense of fitness.Community endowment is the main way for Guangzhou elderly endowment,therefore,the community is their main activity locations,therefore,fitness facilities in community play an important role to the health of the Guangzhou elderly.However,the design of current community fitness facilities in Guangzhou is based on the size standard of Chinese adult human body size,without considering the local physical characteristics of Guangzhou elderly.Thus,it is very important to set up body database of Guangzhou elderly through measuring the human body dates of Guangzhou elderly,therefore,to solve the problem of human-machine in Guangzhou fitness facilities.This is also the main research of this project.After collecting the date of Guangzhou elderly and analyzing their daily routine,design constraints and design target can be learned,and base on these,we can design fitness facilities.The main contents of the research are summarized as follows:(1)To study the physiological characteristics,psychological characteristics,and lifestyle of Guangzhou elderly in the context of regional culture of Guangzhou.Through the analysis of the status quo of current community sports fitness facilities,found that the existing community sports fitness facilities are the dimensions of Chinese adults size as the design basis,not completely in line with the size of the elderly,and as a breakthrough point,this topic research goal set is based on the anthropometry of guangzhou city community sports fitness facilities in the elderly.(2)Use the principle of ergonomics and statistical method to measure the human body data of Guangdong elderly,which includes body size measurement,power measurement,range of motion measurement and gait measurement.After collecting the statistics,all parameters will be compared between male and female.(3)Investigate the status quo of existing fitness facilities,including the use of fitness facilities and their problems.Propose the design principles of fitness facilities for Guangzhou elderly based on anthropometry.Base on the use cases of existing community fitness facilities,study the Guangzhou elderly through user interview,questionnaires t.After analyzing the survey dates,we can know user experiences and their specific needs.(4)Through the above-mentioned survey,the design orientation fitness facilities are put forward.According to the design principles,the functions and design elements are designed.Finally,Finally,the feasibility of the design scheme is analyzed by using SAMMIE software,which proves the rationality of the design.Through this research,human dimensions and their usage can be applied to more similar products for Guangzhou elderly,and the design principles of fitness facilities for Guangzhou elderly based on anthropometry can also be generalized to other regions of the fitness facilities design.
