Abstract

The work aims to explore the influencing factors of the elderly using outdoor public fitness equipment in communities against the backdrop of population aging and provide strategic references for the optimization of community fitness equipment. Focusing on the needs and expectations of the elderly, the KANO-IPA model was combined with the AEIOU observation method and questionnaire survey to extract the priority of the elderly's needs for outdoor public fitness equipment from six key dimensions including safety, usability, functionality, accessibility, sociability and aesthetics, Elderly users were more concerned about the fault tolerance of fitness equipment and the optimization of flexible exercise equipment. In addition, high priority for renovation included teaching labels and knowledge popularization of fitness equipment, simplicity of operation, fitness effect detection, and recreational facilities. Based on the analysis of the need characteristics of elderly users, this work puts forward the reference for the transformation strategy of community fitness equipment for the elderly.
