Resumen

The increasing reliance on mobile applications for fitness and nutrition management highlights the need for customized and adaptive solutions. This article proposes eight recommendations for designing mobile apps that tailor workout routines and provide nutritional support. These recommendations were based from the analysis of 22 scientific articles and 3 mobile fitness applications. The recommendations proposed are divided in two categories: (i) Recommendations for the content and visual design visual of the mobile application, and (ii) Recommendations for user interaction and motivation in the mobile application. For a better understanding, an illustrative example was developed with the use of the proposed recommendations. This work aims to help designers create more effective and engaging mobile fitness applications.
