Development history

The development of China's fitness equipment industry began in the late 1980s. With the success of China's accession to the WTO and Beijing Olympics, it provided favorable conditions and development opportunities for the development of the fitness equipment industry. The fitness team continued to expand into fitness equipment manufacturers. Come to a strong business opportunity.
From January to December 2006, China's sporting goods industry realized a total industrial output value of 51,537,399 thousand yuan, an increase of 24.61% over the same period of 2005; realized cumulative product sales income of 49,740,392 thousand yuan, an increase of 24.2% over the same period of 2005; 1,821,317 thousand yuan, an increase of 18.62% over the same period in 2005.
From January to December of 2007, China's sporting goods industry realized a total industrial output value of 61,313,721 thousand yuan, an increase of 19.39% over the same period of 2006. From January to October 2008, China's sporting goods industry enterprises realized a total industrial output value of 55,906,766,000 yuan. Compared with the same period of 2007, it increased by 16.67%.
While the Chinese fitness equipment industry is developing rapidly, some problems are becoming more and more obvious. In particular, there is a lack of well-known brands in the international market, and the added value of products is low. At the same time, compared with the international advanced level, many Chinese manufacturers are still in the stage of imitation production, and their product development and technological innovation capabilities are insufficient. In the field of consumption, compared with developed countries such as Europe and the United States, the penetration rate of fitness equipment products in the family and the per capita consumption for fitness are still very low.

Therefore, Chinese fitness equipment industry enterprises must seize the new development situation, increase scientific and technological innovation, and strive to improve product quality and strengthen independent research and development capabilities. Relevant departments should formulate uniform technical safety standards for fitness equipment and strengthen after-sales service. Only in this way can we be in an invincible position under the new situation.

Main category

Purchase knowledge

As for the general and comprehensive exercise, in addition to choosing to go to a professional gym, you can assist with regular outdoor equipment exercise.

Second, consider the living environment and living conditions. A device that suits your family's atmosphere and living conditions will enhance the quality of life. Generally speaking, a single-function fitness device occupies a small area. When some fitness devices are used at home, some functions cannot really function due to space constraints; and if the space is too large, each time it is used. Need to install or move, will greatly reduce the enthusiasm of fitness.
Third, the price is moderate. Do not blindly worship foreign products, the products produced by domestic enterprises are relatively low in price and various types. The functions of these products can fully meet the needs of exercise, and because of the addition of some localized elements, some functions are also foreign fitness equipment. insufficient.
Fourth, after-sales service should pay attention. When buying a fitness device, you should also like to buy other products. Don't neglect the problem of after-sales service, especially the fitness equipment with more parts. You should also ask the specific methods of after-sales service. Foreign products should ask if there is any maintenance point.

Amount of exercise

15-20 minutes of exercise is a good way to save time. Warm up for 5 minutes on a treadmill at 4 -- 4.8 km / h, then increase by 0.3 km / h every 2 minutes until you feel that moving at a speed for 45 minutes can be challenging. Walk about 1 km at a fixed pace and record the time used. This may take 15-25 minutes. When walking at a speed of 4.8 km / h, the journey of 1 km takes about 20 minutes. After you can easily do this a few times, you can gradually increase the speed, so you can get a good workout for 30 minutes. Before you walk through the exercise program, you should be clear: don't be impatient, this exercise is for the health of your own life, not the magic of one night. Frequency of exercise: The goal is 3-5 times/week, 15-60 minutes per exercise. It's best to make a schedule of exercise based on your physical condition, rather than exercising according to your own preferences. You can adjust the speed and exercise time to master the intensity of the exercise. The above content is for reference only, please consult a professional for details.
