Abstract

Information technologies support personalized strategies to promote the effectiveness of physical exercise programs. The study reported by this paper developed a web-based program for personalised physical exercise for community dwelling older adults. Considering the Medical Research Council framework for developing and evaluating complex interventions, the paper reports the results of the development phase, which is the first phase of this framework. The development phase included the identification of the existing evidence, the identification of the developing theory, and the modelling of the intervention. The developed program and respective web-based application integrate the inherent complexity of physical exercise programs and allow the definition of personalized prescriptions considering a diverse range of factors (i.e., frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, and progression) recommended by international guidelines.
