DESIGN NAME: Winding
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Adjustable Fitness Dumbbell
INSPIRATION: Design inspiration comes from adjustable dumbbells. We want to adjust the force by changing the pull, not by increasing the weight. In addition, the combination of dumbbell rope and different parts of the body also adds more forms of exercise.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a dumbbell that regulates tension. Users can increase the deformation of the dumbbell spring by rotating. With the tightening of the spring, the tension of dumbbell retraction increases. The rope inside the dumbbell is printed with lines. In the process of practice, the drawn color lines can play a role in reminding the user of the accuracy of the action.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: When using dumbbells, you can first draw out the traction rope, put the buckle into the hole of the traction rope, and then step on the traction rope for training, in order to adjust the required tension. There are colored lines on the rope, which can remind the completion of the action. The dumbbell is equipped with a breathing light, and the user can adjust the breathing according to the changes of the breathing light to achieve the maximum movement effect.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in July 2018 in Beijing and finished in December 2018 in Beijing

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Steel outer skin, guaranteeing the firmness of the instrument, inelastic linen rope can maximize the use of the tension of the winding
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 170mm x 40Depth mm x 170Height mm
TAGS: Tension, Breathing, Winding, Motion Standards, Family Fitness Instruments
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We analyzed what people do when they exercise. In the process of studying drag fitness, we found that slow and uniform exertion would bring corresponding fitness effects. Meanwhile, we studied various forms and changing methods of resistance, aiming to achieve fitness effects by changing the size of resistance at the same time. Through the research on the breathing frequency of fitness, the frequency of breathing lamp is determined to help users adjust their breathing.
CHALLENGE: One of the challenges of this project is to explore ways to change resistance. Another challenge is how to remind users of the criteria for action. The distance between the colored lines on the drawstring becomes smaller to remind the user that the action has been completed.
