Sistema de segurança autospotter para supino

Abstract

For weightlifting enthusiasts, the bench press exercise is essential for optimal muscle strengthening in the chest region. However, performing this exercise autonomously and with heavy loads poses significant risks of accidents and injuries. A project was developed in order to help the practitioner perform this exercise, with high loads, autonomously and safely without the need for third parties. The Pahl & Beitz methodology was used as a basis to develop a breakdown into subfunctions, where different combinations of solutions to the problem were determined. A combination was chosen to further the study, based on hydraulic devices centered on an accumulator. It can be concluded that the device is capable of functioning and assisting the practitioner. The system was designed, dimensioned and tested using simulators, achieving the objective. The solution found will now advance to the prototype construction phase for the complete development of the device.
