"Fresh Air Fitness, the market leaders in outdoor gym equipment, will be carrying out research to understand who are using outdoor gyms, how they are interacting with them, and how improved design could improve their experience and increase the benefit that they derive from them. It will also seek to understand the different reasons that people do not use it or do not use it on a regular basis. Using a proven human centred design model will help them to design products that will appeal to a wider population and increase the health benefits to individual users and thereby to public health as a whole.Like most western countries the UK is facing a public health crisis caused by poor lifestyles. Physical inactivity is known to be a factor in over 20 chronic conditions and is estimated to cost the NHS £1billion pa while the cost to the economy as a whole is £7.4billion (NICE 2018).Outdoor gym equipment can make an important contribution to helping to turn the tide on physical inactivity. It is a relatively low-cost facility that makes the benefits of an indoor gym available to all. It is free to use, making it accessible to many who could either not afford gym membership, would find it difficult to travel to their nearest gym or who feel intimidated by an indoor gym environment.Over 20million adults or 39% of the population in the UK (British Heart Foundation report 2017) are classified as ""inactive"" meaning they do not meet the Chief Medical Officers recommendations of 150 minutes of exercise per week.It is also known that exercising in the fresh-air and in green environments improves mental well-being. Fresh Air Fitness are passionate about bringing the benefits of exercise and fresh air to as many people as possible. This research will help us to understand the motivating and inhibiting factors, so that products can be designed to encourage as many as possible to benefit from this free, potentially life changing, resource.The public purse will benefit from two perspectives. Firstly, it will provide a better return on the investments that are already being made, and secondly the more people use it and become active the greater the health benefits and the potential savings to the NHS"

“户外健身器材市场的领导者Fresh Air Fitness将开展研究，了解谁在使用户外健身器材，他们是如何与之互动的，以及改进的设计如何改善他们的体验，增加他们从中获得的好处。”它还将试图了解人们不使用它或不经常使用它的不同原因。使用经过验证的以人为本的设计模式将有助于他们设计出能够吸引更广泛人群的产品，并增加对个人用户的健康益处，从而增加对整个公共卫生的益处。像大多数西方国家一样，英国正面临着由不良生活方式引起的公共卫生危机。众所周知，缺乏身体活动是导致20多种慢性疾病的一个因素，据估计，这将使NHS每年损失10亿英镑，而整个经济损失为74亿英镑（NICE 2018）。户外健身器材可以为扭转缺乏运动的趋势做出重要贡献。这是一种相对低成本的设施，使所有人都能享受到室内健身房的好处。它是免费使用的，使许多人可以使用它，要么买不起健身房会员，要么很难去最近的健身房，要么对室内健身房环境感到害怕。超过2000万成年人或39%的英国人口（英国心脏基金会2017年报告）被归类为“不活跃”，这意味着他们没有达到首席医疗官每周150分钟的运动建议。众所周知，在新鲜空气和绿色环境中锻炼可以改善心理健康。Fresh Air Fitness热衷于将运动和新鲜空气的好处带给尽可能多的人。这项研究将帮助我们了解激励因素和抑制因素，这样产品就可以设计成鼓励尽可能多的人从这种免费的、可能改变生活的资源中受益。公共财政将从两个方面受益。首先，它将为已经进行的投资提供更好的回报，其次，使用它并变得活跃的人越多，NHS的健康效益和潜在储蓄就越大。”
