Abstract(s)
A presente dissertação descreve o processo de desenvolvimento do projeto realizado no âmbito da unidade curricular Dissertação/Projeto/Estágio do Mestrado em Engenharia de Computação e Instrumentação Médica. Nos últimos anos, houve um crescimento no interesse da sociedade em manter um estilo de vida saudável, quer seja através do aumento da prática de exercício físico como através da implementação de uma alimentação adequada. Esta tendência leva à criação de diversas oportunidades de negócio, tais como a abertura de novos ginásios ou a criação de aplicações móveis e/ou web. No entanto, nem todas as aplicações existentes no mercado são as mais indicadas, pois a disponibilidade de informação e a escolha dos exercícios físicos não é feita de acordo com o perfil e os objetivos de cada utilizador. Para ultrapassar o problema apresentado, definiu-se como objetivo a implementação de uma aplicação web que apoie o utilizador no seu dia-a-dia, quer seja em momentos de treino, de recuperação física ou em momentos de procura por uma alimentação adequada. Para atingir este objetivo, o sistema disponibiliza para o cliente uma lista de exercícios físicos, uma lista de exercícios terapêuticos, um plano de treino e um plano de alimentação, de acordo com o seu perfil e objetivos delineados. Essa atribuição é feita a partir de um sistema adaptativo, que é desenvolvido a partir do preenchimento de um questionário, cujo principal objetivo é satisfazer as necessidades do cliente. O resultado deu origem a um protótipo que cumpre os requisitos não funcionais e funcionais definidos, sendo que as tarefas delineadas para o cumprimento do objetivo do sistema foram realizadas com sucesso. Porém, e dadas as circunstâncias atuais, a realização de testes de aceitação e o preenchimento de um inquérito de satisfação dos utilizadores foram feitos por uma amostra de conveniência composta por 10 pessoas. No entanto, o resultado foi considerado bastante bom, dado que as respostas ao inquérito, no geral, foram positivas: o sistema foi considerado rápido, simples e com uma interface intuitiva.
The present dissertation describes the entire development of the project carried out in the scope of the curricular unit Dissertation/Project/Internship of the Master’s in the Computer Engineering and Medical Instrumentation. In the last years, there has been an increase in the interest of society in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, either through the increase in the practice of physical exercise or through the implementation of an adequate diet. This trend leads to the creation of several business opportunities, such as the opening of new gyms or the creation of mobile and/or web applications. However, not all applications on the market are the most suitable, as the availability of information and the choice of physical exercises is not made according to the profile and objectives of each user. To overcome the problem presented, the objective was to implement a web application that supports the user in their day-to-day lives, whether during training, physical recovery or when looking for a healthy nutrition plan. To achieve this goal, the system presents to the client a list of physical and therapeutic exercises, a training plan and a nutritional plan, according to their profile and outlined objectives. The information provided to the client are based on an adaptive system (developed with the data from a questionnaire) whose main objective is to satisfy the client’s needs. The work developed during this dissertation resulted in a prototype that fulfills the defined non-functional and functional requirements. The tasks outlined to achieve the objective of the system were carried out successfully. However, and given the current circumstances, acceptance tests and user satisfaction quiz were made using a convenience sample of 10 people. Nevertheless, the result was considered plenty good, because the responses, in general, were positive: the system was considered fast, simple and intuitive.
