Abstract

Inactivity has been the main cause of obesity which has affected many people worldwide. Studies show that fitness is an important goal for a healthy lifestyle and has been used as a measurement for health-related quality of life. A fitness trainer can motivate and teach users to do fitness activities. However, to use a human fitness trainer may involve high cost and is not suitable for a certain school setting. A personalized virtual fitness trainer has the potential to replace a human trainer whenever possible. It can help physical education teachers in schools to motivate students to exercise. This study discussed the design and development of an AI-based application coined as an Intelligent Virtual Fitness Trainer (IVFIT) as an attempt to provide a personalized physical learning experience for school students. This app is developed to (1) demonstrate five workout activities for 30 minutes; (2) teach the user three types of dances for 22 minutes, and (3) demonstrate five basic self-defense moves. These training scenarios were administered to a physical education class consisting of 23 students in which the recommendation of the fitness trainer is done using a calculation of artificial intelligence algorithms. The percentage of prediction error was calculated after each activity to measure the effectiveness of the app in giving recommendations. Subsequently, a teacher observation test was conducted to determine students' perceptions of the effectiveness of the proposed VFT application. Overall, students found the VFT application to be effective in stimulating higher levels of involvement in physical activity without teacher supervision. It can be concluded from the study that a personalized virtual trainer can assist in assigning a suitable virtual trainer for specific users and can be used for physical education activities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
