Abstract:
Communicating dynamic motion content, such as exercise,
with a static medium, such as paper, is difficult. The
technology exists for presenting 3D animated exercise content
to patients, however, the tools for allowing exercise domain
experts to effectively author the content do not exist.
We conducted two formative studies with exercise science
domain experts to discover the requirements for an exercise
prescription authoring notation. Based on our findings, we
implemented a prototype notation and performed a thinkaloud
study to understand its strengths and weaknesses. The
results of our studies have implications for any software solution
aimed at the authoring of physical activity content.
