Abstract
La finalidad del siguiente trabajo se encuentra en el estudio y diseño de un modelo y prototipo de calleras funcionales para CrossFit®, cross training, y otros ejercicios físicos de alta intensidad, que a diferencia de las protecciones de manos actualmente existentes para este deporte, las cuales solo cubren la palma de la mano, presenten una alternativa para la protección del pulgar, además de la posibilidad de alternar el tipo de agarre deseado por el usuario según las demandas de la secuencia de los ejercicios en cada entrenamiento. Los principales aspectos a destacar en este nuevo estudio y diseño no solo consisten en la innovación del formato del producto, sino también en la búsqueda de nuevas alternativas respecto a los principales materiales que habitualmente lo componen, ya que en los principales productos del mercado, actualmente solo se pueden encontrar calleras y protecciones de manos para este deporte realizadas en polímeros o mezcla de polímeros con buenas características en cuanto a coeficientes de resistencia, textura y movilidad, o bien realizadas en cuero animal. No obstante, aunque las marcas y fabricantes defienden que sus productos son veganos o eco-friendly, lo cierto es que o bien usan cuero animal como material principal, o bien usan polímeros sintéticos de dudosa sostenibilidad y respeto por el medioambiente. En este estudio se intenta encontrar una solución y material principal que no necesite verdaderamente ser un material sintético o tener procedencia animal.
Palabras clave: calleras, protección, manos, CrossFit®, agarre de gatillo, sostenibilidad.
The purpose of the following work is the study and design of a functional hand grips prototype for CrossFit®, cross training, and other high intensity physical exercises, unlike the currently existing hand protections for this sport, which only protect the hand palms, they have to present an alternative for thumb protection, in addition to the possibility of change the type of grip desired by the user according to exercises demands in the sequence of them in each training. The relevant aspects in this new study and design not only consist in the innovation of the product format, but also the research for new alternatives regarding materials that usually compose it, because in the main products on the market, currently only hands grips and hand protections for this sport can be found, made of polymers or a mixture of polymers with great properties in terms of resistance coefficients, texture and mobility, or in animal leather. However, although brands and manufacturers defend that their products are vegan or eco-friendly, the truth is that either they use animal leather as the main material, or they use synthetic polymers of doubtful sustainability and respect for the environment. This study tries to find a solution and material that does not really need to be a synthetic material or have animal origin. Keywords: hand grips, protection, hands, CrossFit®, hook grip, sustainability.
