Bu çalışmanın amacı dış mekan fitness aleti kullanıcılarının
antropometrik ölçülerinin belirlenerek, halihalızırda kullanımda olan bir dış
mekan fitness aletinin kullanıcılarına uygun olarak yeniden tasarlanmasıdır.

Çalışmaya, Eskişehir ilinde ikamet eden 100(50 kadın ve 50 erkek) dış
mekan fitness aleti kullanıcısı gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcıların yaşı
18 ila 79 arasında olup, yaş ortalamaları 31’dir (SD: 1,15277). Çalışmada boy, omuz
yüksekliği, kol yana uzanım mesafesi, yumruk yğksekliği, ön kol uzunluğu, üst
kol uzunluğu, omuz-parmak ucu uzunluğu, diz yüksekliği, aşık kemiği yüksekliği
ve el uzunluğu ölçüleri toplanmıştır. Toplanan ölçüler, herhangi bir
antropometrik uyumsuzluk olup olmadığını belirlemek adına halihazırda
kullanımda olan dış mekan fitness aleti ölçüleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Elde
edilen veriler yetişkin kullanıcıların vücut ölçüleriyle, mevcut dış mekan
fitness aleti ölçülerinin birbiriyle uyumlu olmadığını göstermiştir. Sonrasında,
mevcut fitness aletinin hareket çıktısı, biomekanik limitlerle karşılaştırılmıştır.
Karşılaştırma sonucu yaralanmalara neden olabilecek bir uyumsuzluk tespit
edilmiştir. Tespit edilen bu uyumsuzluklar toplum sağlığını tehlikeye attığından,
bir dış mekan fitness aleti, FE02 Stepper, kullanıcılarının antropometrik
verilerine ve biomekanik limitlerine uygun olarak, sonraki tasarımlara örnek
olabilmesi adına, yeniden tasarlanmıştır.

A RE-DESIGN PROJECT: CORRECTION OF AN OUTDOOR FITNESS EQUIPMENT’S DESIGN ACCORDING TO ITS USERS’S ANTHROPOMETRIC AND BIOMECHANICAL DATA

Öz

The aim of this study is to determine the anthropometric measurements of the users of outdoor fitness equipment and to re-design of an in-use outdoor fitness equipment according to these measurements.

A total of 100 (50 male and 50 female) outdoor fitness equipment users, living in Eskisehir, Turkey, voluntarily participated in the study. Their ages ranged from 18 to 79 years and the mean of their ages were 31,2 (SD: 1,15277). The following human body dimensions were measured: stature, shoulder height, side-arm reach, fist (knuckle) height, forearm length, upper arm length, shoulder-fingertip length, knee height, malleolus height and hand length. The anthropometric measures of the adults and the outdoor fitness equipment’ dimensions were compared in order to identify any incompatibility between them. The data indicated a mismatch between the adults’ bodily dimensions and the outdoor fitness equipment available to them. Later on, in use fitness equipment’s motion output compared with biomechanical limits. Also, a mismatch was found between the motion output and biomechanical limits which might cause injuries. As these mismatches endanger public health, an outdoor fitness equipment, FE02 Stepper was re-designed according to its users’ anthropometric data and biomechanical limits as an example.
