Resumo(s)
We study the motives of regular and non-regular exercisers’
engagement with motivational text messages and the importance
individuals attribute to visual presentation. A total of 160
individuals were surveyed (80 regular exercisers and 80 non
regular exercisers). We found regular exercisers use motivational
text messages in order to encourage their exercise routine. Non
regular exercisers use motivational text messages mainly to try
to boost their exercise motivation. Individuals, independent of
their exercise profile, prefer to see motivational text messages
presented in a mixed way, sometimes as text-only and
sometimes embedded in a visual presentation. Participants
reported that an aesthetically appealing visual presentation helps
instill a positive feeling regarding the text, and the visual
presentation was considered as important as the textual content.
We conclude with a number of implications for the design of
activity trackers.
