Resumen
Calisthenics is a sport that uses its own body weight as a resistive load in order to stimulate the development of muscle strength, balance, posture correction and elasticity, has been accumulating supporters around the world. By not using complex equipment, weights and being low cost it is possible to practice it in squares, parks, woods, homes and even in offices. The main equipment used in the sport are the parallel bars and the fixed bar. Due to its ease of execution and the rush of everyday life, calisthenics has become an interesting option for those who wish to maintain their health by exercising at home. However, most parallel bars require significant storage spaces as they are not collapsible. And home-made fixed bars interfere with the structure of residential installation environments. Therefore, there was an opportunity to develop a device for practicing calisthenics in homes that does not require large amounts of storage or affect the residential structure in any way. To achieve this goal the present work uses product development methodology based on Forcellini (2002) and Pahl et al (2007) being divided into four stages: planning and conceptual design, preliminary design, detailed design and functional prototype construction and evaluation. Although the benchmarking has 16 equipment used for the practice of calisthenics, none was found that is portable, lightweight, easy to assemble and allows exercises in the high bar, without having to interfere with the home structure. Research with 30 potential users of the equipment confirmed that there is a niche market to be explored consolidating the opportunity found. Through the tools provided in the methodology of Forcellini, 2002, 11 conceptions were developed capable of offering the mentioned characteristics. The relative evaluation matrix made it possible to choose the best solution. The chosen solution was refined by attributing it to characteristics of other conceptions. After completion of the design and sizing of parts, the equipment was analyzed in finite element software resulting in a safety coefficient greater than three. Therefore, the equipment was considered fit for use. The prototype generated in the methodology fully met 12 of the 14 project requirements, 1 partial service and 1 needs more time for evaluation.
