A well-designed airtight manned cabin can efficiently facilitate personnel tasks. However, most current research on design methods for manned airtight cabins was based on objective considerations of the physical environment. It lacked a human-based starting point to consider the relationship between human operational performance and the function of manned airtight cabins. In this study, we proposed a design method for manned enclosed cabins driven by human operational performance. By identifying the critical factors influencing human operation performance, an ergonomic design index system for a manned cabin was constructed, and three ergonomic design methods for the manned cabin were proposed. Taking a manned submersible as an example, a case analysis and methods of application verification were conducted. The proposed method can provide a reliable guarantee for maximizing the task execution ability and provide new research ideas for follow-up design and research in the field of ergonomics.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100031,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Design Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 12-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49747612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impact of ergonomics/anthropometry and biomechanics on sports equipment design is discussed, focusing on the need for physical enhancement, and accommodating equipment for a diverse range of users. The use of innovative materials in sports equipment design, which has led to increased energy return and power output during sports performance, is also highlighted. Further, the article emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among various academic disciplines to examine past problem-solving approaches, develop new methods, and identify future research directions. Additionally, the article discusses four generations of sports equipment design, each characterized by specific design and engineering approaches that have significantly improved athletic performance. The fourth/current generation is expected to focus on biologically altering or modifying human physical capabilities to enhance athletic performance, with wearable technology identified as a key tool in this endeavor. Overall, the article provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of sports equipment design and the role of interdisciplinary collaboration in enhancing human physical ability in sports. The article encourages further research in this area, particularly in the use of wearable technology and material innovation to enhance athletic performance in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100031,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Design Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"Pages 7-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49747560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
