squat box
Squat Box is an exercise tool developed by students at the Yale Center for Engineering Innovation and Design. The tool allows a user to set an individual depth for their squat exercise and then signals the user when they reach that squat goal, in both individual squat exercise and as an isometric exercise. This demo illustrates the Squat Box in action. This web-page details the progression of the Squat Box from a student project along a trajectory to make the Squat Box widely available, illustrating the CEID’s Projects-to-Products Program.
