Diseño y construcción de una máquina para desarrollar la musculatura del hombro

Abstract

The work carried out seeks to satisfy the creation of a machine in the field of physical conditioning, which adapts to the conditions of the working environment, since, in the market of foreign gym machines, the anthropometric differences do not adjust adequately to the body dimensions of our country, which prevents users from finding the correct position for the development of the exercises. Within the framework of this project, exhaustive bibliographic research of patents related to similar machines was carried out. This research allowed us to select the most relevant elements as a starting point for the design. In addition, anthropometric data was collected from the users of the gym in order to make an optimal ergonomic design for the machine. Once all the necessary information had been collected, the design and simulation of the machine was carried out. Analytical calculations were carried out to verify the reliability and safety of the proposed design. The result of the project culminated in a very robust machine, designed to fit the anthropometric dimensions of the people in the gymnasium of the Technical University of Ambato. This adaptability guarantees an optimized user experience, allowing a safe and reliable workout for those who use it. The combination of a solid construction and an ergonomic design provides a feeling of safety and confidence when using it, so that after performing the corresponding tests, favorable results based on recommendations are obtained, which translates into a highly functional and suitable equipment for the gymnasium of the Technical University of Ambato.
