Abstract
In recent years, more and more Chinese colleges and universities have set up gyms on campus in order to enhance students’ physical fitness. As an important part of the sports fitness industry, campus gyms have huge development space, and due to the particularity of the user groups, there are certain differences from ordinary gyms. Treadmills are the most common and basic fitness equipment in campus gyms. At present, there is no treadmill specially designed for campus gyms. Therefore, there is still a lot of room for improvement in user experience of campus treadmills. This study takes the gym of Guangzhou International Campus of South China University of Technology as an example. In terms of hardware, the OWAS scale is used to evaluate the user’s running posture, and the treadmill is improved for problems such as heart rate measurement; in terms of interface, QUIS is used to evaluate the treadmill interface. And according to the evaluation results, the interface layout of the treadmill is optimized.
