Arcabouço para o desenvolvimento de aplicações de monitoramento de praticantes de exercícios físicos.

Abstract

Home-based physical activity has grown due to highera dherence than center-based physical exercises. The increasing number of practitioners of home-based physical exercises results in an increasing number of people who practice physical exercises without proper professional supervision. This lack of adequate professional supervision can result in inadequate physical exercise. Given the existing applications designed to physical exercises management and remote monitoring of personal health, it’s visible the lack of a generic solution in order to monitor the health of practitioners of physical exercises, in other words, a solution that can observe many aspects of health care and can make decisions based on the collected data. However, this requires that the application developer deals with non-trivial issues, such as: integrating different types of sensors; integrate different types of warning equipments; manage the alerts sent to the users; and make available the information. In this work we present a framework for the development of monitoring of physical exercises practitioners applications. Basically, the framework aims to create an abstraction of communication between sensors, applications and warning equipments, reducing the complexity in the development process. The validation was performed through a use case that demonstrates the framework support for the development of applications formonitoring physical exercises practitioners.
