Yangzi Evening News (correspondent Xu Yue, intern Peng Aoxiang, reporter Ma Yan) Fascia guns have gradually become the "standard equipment" for gyms and home fitness, but there are no corresponding national standards and industry standards. What should you pay attention to when purchasing?
On February 21, the Consumer Protection Committee of Jiangsu Province held a press conference and released the comparative test analysis report of the fascia gun.
According to Zhao Xin, Director of the Supervision Department of Jiangsu Provincial Consumer Protection Committee, the Provincial Consumer Protection Committee and Nanjing Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute selected 30 common fascia guns for 6 items - structure and size, amplitude, heat dissipation performance, noise , life time and mechanical strength to carry out performance evaluation.
The selling price of 30 samples ranges from 164 yuan to 3199 yuan.
The samples performed well in the three items of structure and size, heat dissipation performance and mechanical strength.
The amplitude is an important indicator to measure the depth and range of influence of the fascia gun massage.
The data indicated by 3 products deviated greatly from the laboratory test amplitude data.
Among them, the "18mm deep massage" marked on Konka's F2 fascia gun deviates by 62% from the test amplitude.
The "8-10mm amplitude" marked on Ye Xiaoshou's MG-15 fascia gun deviates by 42% from the test data.
The Meiling ML-T1 fascia gun claims that it "reaches the 12mm deep muscle group" and the test data deviates by 41%.
The fascia gun is used close to the human body, and excessive noise will cause discomfort to the user.
Among the 30 samples, there are 10 products whose detected noise value is higher than the stated data, and 9 fascia guns with a sound power level exceeding 60dB(A). Among them, Rooftree's R20 fascia gun has the highest sound power level, reaching 67dB(A).
How should consumers choose a fascia gun?
According to Zhang Linhan, a test engineer at the Nanjing Institute of Product Quality Supervision and Inspection, there are obvious differences in the size, weight and strength of fascia guns. It is recommended that female consumers or entry-level fitness enthusiasts choose fascia guns that are smaller in size, lighter in weight, and less powerful. , Professional fitness enthusiasts choose a fascia gun with a larger size, heavier weight, and greater strength.
