During the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, several personal trainers recommended fitness mobile applications to their students so that they could perform physical activities at home. However, poorly designed interfaces may hinder users to perform their workouts properly. This article presents a guide that provides a set of recommendations so that the personal trainer can assess whether an application is suitable to assist practitioners in their training. Initially, usability evaluation methods were selected and applied to identify
usability criteria that were the basis for the guide's recommendations. Subsequently, the persona of the personal trainer was identified, and the guide was evaluated based on the SWOT analysis. The result was the identification of ten recommendations that can be used both for users to evaluate their applications and for interface designers to develop apps that meet the particularities of this software category. |
