Consisting of 2 approaches:

Trial period of 2 weeks with 10 triathletesUser tracking with Google Analytics

Trial period of 2 weeks

13

10 triathletes

1st of May - 14th of May (2 weeks)

Approach:Fill in questionnaire with application currently used

Register account on dashboard + use it for 2 weeks

Fill in the questionnaire again, but with dashboard

Fill in a SUS questionnaire

Trial period — Questionnaire

Goal of the dashboard

Design criteria:

Data capturing Simplicity Consistency Interactivity Crowded impression of the dashboard

Can they estimate physical fitness?

Are the design criteria fulfilled in a qualitative way?

One of the biggest challenges in dashboard design

Show added value w.r.t. existing applicationsDifficulty score vs. needed time indication

How useful is comparing the training intensity values with other users to estimate physical fitness?

How useful is the knowledge of the evolution of the training intensity values for the preparation of races?

Indicate how easy it is to save trainings in the dashboard

“The dashboard has a too crowded impression”

User tracking with Google Analytics

General information: e.g. duration on dashboard

Event tracking: e.g. popular actions, “forgotten” actions

General information:

Total of 6637 executed actions

Personal specs (39%) - Planning (28%) - Training details (24%) - Others (9%)

Only 4 personal training categories were added

Event tracking: Avg of 140 per userOnly distance, duration and intensity frequently used
