Abstract

In order to help the existing outdoor exercise equipment development project get over the excessive import of foreign products or imprudent imitation of products of other companies and propose a creative and effective direction for their development, this study has analyzed the analogy and similarities of design characteristics of outdoor exercise equipment regarding their kinds of equipment, manufacturing companies and the effect of exercises. This study surveyed the exercise equipment installed at 20 spots in Seoul to research the exercise effect of equipment intended by the manufacturers, and analyzed the characteristic design features of the outdoor exercise equipment. Key points of research results are as follows:First, current outdoor exercise equipment installed in Korea is mostly for exercise of muscles and bone structures and creative exercise equipment has not been developed sufficiently. Particularly, exercise equipment for psychological exercise system and digestive organ exercise system has not been developed yet. Secondly, the concept of universal design is required to be applied to each unit of exercise equipment to adjust its various intensity in exercise, bring forth exercise effect on many parts of body, obtain diverse exercise effects, and to be used by people with diverse bodily characteristics Thirdly, in terms of exercise effects, following categories of exercise equipment are needed to be developed at current situation in Korea: interesting muscle exercise equipment with focus on lower part and limbs of body, muscle and bone system exercise equipment using various parts of body, muscle and bone system exercise equipment through circular movement of lower part of body, exercise equipment that can promote the practical adjustment of biological capabilities for the adults, cardio-pulmonary exercise equipment through movement of upper body with both feet on the ground, and cardio-pulmonary exercise equipment with voluntary and independent movement.
