Active Bodies in Inactive Lifestyles: Redesigning Products for Physiological Imperatives

Abstract Details

2018, MDES, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Design.
There is a clear discrepancy between contemporary sedentary lifestyles and the physicality to which humans adapted over thousands of years. Among the negative impacts on human health is the prevalence of chronic disease. As we offload more physical work in our daily activities, we will continue to see declines in health. The most common solutions for getting physical activity are separate from our daily work. This project pulls design together with other fields to construct the bridge between physical activity and life. Project-based research was conducted to develop and evaluate concepts for household tools that encourage and enable more physical activity within everyday routines.
