Interview transcripts 3
A:I have not used the fitness APP because I am keeping my figure by running.
Q:Do you try to some app that you think it will help you or motivate you do exercise. why would you choose xxx.which function or feature do you like and why.
A:I have used Alipay. This is a mobile payment software. One of the functions is called Ant Forest. It records my movement steps every day and converts it to the corresponding energy the next day. Energy can be used to plant a real tree in the northwestern part of China, which makes me feel that I am involved in public welfare activities and encourages me to increase my physical activity.
A:For the abdominal muscles. When I was a teenager, I thought that exercise can help me grow taller, and now I think exercise is for health and good body.
Q:Do you have motivation to take part in the exercise?If not, what is the reason for your lack of motivation?
A:I often want to exercise but I can't hold it. Because the process of exercise is very long, but it is difficult to feel the effect. And I think I am lazy, and the sport makes me very tired.
A:I prefer the type of entertainment because I think it's more fun, and I just want to daily fit and not for professional sports.
A:I think this is great because I can feel the gap between me and others, which can effectively motivate me to exercise.
Q:In the four drafts we showed below, which one do you prefer? What do you think is the most useful feature and what can be improved?
A:I like the first option. Firstly, I can get a gift, which makes me feel very attractive. Secondly, the first one is safer than others because it has a fixed target point, such as the second scenario where the user needs to move a circle. Then, in the third application, the user's security is not guaranteed, such as setting up obstacles in dense traffic lanes, which may affect traffic and the user may feel embarrassing. The last solution I thought was too boring, and I thought that recording the calories of my food was too much trouble and I didn't want to use this application.
A:Alipay. There is an ant forest that records the amount of exercise. (entertainment)
Q:Do you try some app that you think it will help you or motivate you do exercise. why would you choose xxx.which function or feature do you like and why.
A:No, because I don't like exercise. Exercise makes me feel very tired.(Lack of motivation)
A:Sorry, I usually don't exercise.
Q:Do you have motivation to take part in the exercise?If not, what is the reason for your lack of motivation?
A:No, the reason is that I like to stay quiet when I was young, and my figure doesn't need to be exercised to keep it.
A:I prefer an entertaining app. The reason is that I think the professionalism is tired, the entertainment is very interesting and it may be easier.
A:I feel that sometimes I see that my activity ranking is very low and I feel embarrassed. At the same time, I will also consider how many moves they have made can get so many steps.
Q:In the three drafts we showed below, which one do you prefer? What do you think is the most useful feature and what can be improved?(Friend participation needed)
A:I prefer the first one, I think it is more practical because I can play it by myself.About other applications, if my friends don't participate in it, then I lose meaning in the list, especially the third one. If my friends don't play or the amount of exercise is low, those items lose their meaning. And the first app can give me a target. When I am bored or want to hang out, I know where I am going, which is indicative and I am willing to use this app.
A:Alipay. There is an ant forest that records the amount of exercise.
Q:Do you try some app that you think it will help you or motivate you do exercise. why would you choose xxx.which function or feature do you like and why.
A:No, because I don't like exercise. Exercise makes me feel very tired.
A:Sorry, I usually don't exercise.
Q:Do you have motivation to take part in the exercise?If not, what is the reason for your lack of motivation?
A:No, the reason is that I like to stay quiet when I was young, and my figure doesn't need to be exercised to keep it.
A:I like it very much, because I can see the amount of exercise of my friends, I think people with a lot of exercise are very powerful. When I saw that I had only one or two hundred steps, I felt that I was lazy. Perhaps one day, I will be motivated to participate in sports at the lowest point of the ranking.
Q:In the three drafts we showed below, which one do you prefer? What do you think is the most useful feature and what can be improved?
A:I like the fourth because I can understand my calorie intake and physical condition very clearly, and because I like math very much, I think things that can be quantified numerically. For the first option, I think the gift package provided is not very useful for us, so I am not interested in collecting it. For the second option, I am puzzled if I need to interrupt the process during the game. And even if I win the game, what reward can I get? In addition, I think it is very embarrassing to exercise with people you don't know. For the third option, this application is not like fitness app but like entertainment app. Too competitive is likely to cause users to lose active. Assuming that the user is being used by another user multiple times, he may therefore abandon the task of continuing to complete the current route.
A:well, actually, most of the application I used is not very interesting enough. If the pokemon Go can be counted as an exercise application, I think it is the most interesting one. It has a weekly stepping function that rewards you according to your number of steps, such as 5 km, 25 km, and 50 km for three rewards. I have also used ’keep‘, but this software will only give you some analysis of running data.
Q:Do you try to some app that you think it will help you or motivate you do exercise. why would you choose xxx.which function or feature do you like and why.
A:I think most of the applications can not motivate me to do exercise, but pokemon Go is different, I'm really curious about the 50km reward. The most important feature of keep is that show some training methods, such as how to increase muscle and reduce fat. and it will give you some specific steps to keep fit. you can just follow the steps of the application, or practise on your own pace.what’s more, sometimes it will send you some notifications about some tips. In PM GO, you can hatch eggs by walking distance and reward you every week according to the walking distance of last week.
A:lose weight I think.
Q:Do you have enough motivation to take part in the exercise?If not, what is the reason for your lack of motivation?
A:No, I think I have no time to exercise. and most of the applications are not interesting enough. If it is like playing football with friends and playing badminton, it will be very interesting. It’s boring if you exercise for exercising.
A:I prefer the last one.
A:well...it is not necessary actually. Everyone’s physical condition is different, and this leaderboard function has no meaning.
Q:In the four drafts we showed below, which one do you prefer? What do you think is the most useful feature and what can be improved?
A:I think the draft 1 and 2 are better. in the draft one, you should give the collection a meaning. for example, in the Pokemon go, the items you collect are useful in the game. about the second draft, It is both professional and entertaining.
A:Nike + and keep. Can let people know their amount of exercise and calorie consumption. The main thing is to remind me to do sports every day.
Q:You have tried some apps that you think will help you or motivate you to exercise. Why do you choose xxx.which features or features you like and why.
A:Keep, because it can set the reminder movement function. Many people will punch in the cards above, and the reward mechanism will give me the motivation to continue.
A:lose weight. Because I am overweight, I need to lose weight.
Q:Do you have enough motivation to participate in the sport? If not, what is the reason for your lack of motivation?
A:No, the reason is that I am too busy, and the second is because I am very bored because I have no companionship. I need to do my own exercise every day and let me lose motivation. If there are three or five small partners together, everyone will remind each other to supervise and make me feel very useful.
A：Professional. The reason is that I think that since I started to exercise, I need professional guidance, hoping to bring me good results. And it takes less time to reach my desired goals.
A：remain neutral. There are a lot of people going to exercise for the rankings, and I feel that this situation has lost its meaning. Of course, getting a good ranking will psychologically encourage me to do sports.
Q：Which of the four drafts we show below, which one do you prefer? What do you think is the most useful feature? What features can I improve?
A：First. The reason is that I think it's more interesting and will attract me to collect the gifts of those points every day. For the second one, I feel that it is a bright spot when I am accompanied by sports, but the second one makes me feel a bit boring because it is just running. For the third, the task sometimes makes me feel embarrassed. For example, if a person has set up an obstacle and needs to do push-ups, the setting of the item needs further communication. And I can't use props myself, I rely on my friends very much. For the fourth, there is no interaction, just take what you eat and exercise alone. And if my daily exercise volume may not be enough for calorie intake, it will make me lose motivation and continue to exercise. I think the most important thing for me is that I can supervise me every day, have professional guidance, and can make friends with the same hobby or sports type.
A：Yes, I usually use a mobile application called KEEP.
Q：Do you try some app that you think it will help you or motivate you do exercise. why would you choose xxx.which function or feature do you like and why.
A：The main purpose of using such app is keeping a healthy body and lifestyle. I only use sport guidance function which help me do exercises in a better way.
A：Keeping my body in a healthy condition.
Q：Do you have enough motivation to take part in the exercise?If not, what is the reason for your lack of motivation?
A：Yes, of course. I can keep doing exercises regularly. But recently, I stopped because of moving to another place to live.
A：I lack of specific sport facilities in the new place. Doing such exercise require professional tools or facilities. There is no gym or fitness center nearby.
A：Professional sport. I can get a more efficient and professional exercise guidance in this way.
A：I seldom notice that. But sometimes it is embarrassing for me because of very low ranking, which seems like I am a lazy person.
Q：In the four drafts we showed below, which one do you prefer? What do you think is the most useful feature and what can be improved?
A：Draft 2 I think. It looks quite interesting to battle for zones. The most useful feature is the percentage of how many areas I have occupied, I guess? It should be a rank,too.
