Fitocracy (Android, Ios) JEFIT (Android, Ios) Johnson & Johnson

27 FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 2015 JEFIT (Android, iOS) JEFIT.com’s apps serve as an incredible resource for users looking to do strength training and bodybuilding. Loaded with an exercise database of thousands of routines sorted by targeted body part, it comes complete with detailed instructions, a workout planner, exercise log, progress tracker, numerous timers and options, and synchronization with your JEFIT profile. The free version is ad-supported, while a pro version offers more features and removes advertising. Johnson & Johnson Official 7 Minute Workout App (Android, iOS) Beginners and veterans alike will appreciate the Johnson & Johnson Official 7 Minute Workout App. The app guides users through the original 7 minute workout, as well as more advanced routines of varying duration and intensity, complete with short videos. A Smart Workout feature can function as your personal trainer. Runtastic Six Pack We also like that users can create their own custom workout routines. Abs (Android, iOS) Runtastic Six Pack Abs is designed to guide you through a 10 week long workout routine designed to sculpt that perfect set of six pack abs you’ve always craved. The app contains a wide variety of workout routines, complete with animated male and female avatars to guide you through the proper form of each exercise. In addition, there are adjustable difficulty levels, and the option to create custom workout plans tailored to target areas, weight loss goals or daily schedules. The app features additional sync options with MyFitnessPal and Runtastic. FitStar (iOS) FitStar functions as your personalized digital training coach, adapting its exercise routines to match your physical capability, carefully calibrating workouts to be challenging without being too difficult. Users can configure their ideal exercise duration and workout goals, and the app will whip up a workout session for you. Once done, you can rate the difficulty of the workout, allowing the app to slowly learn and adapt to your workout capacity, challenging you without Fitocracy (Android, iOS) breaking your body. The social network for exercise junkies, Fitocracy uses a combina- tion of gamification and peer pressure to encourage your exercise habits. Users can look up exercise routines and then log them in to score points, level up and gain achievements, all of which is displayed in a social media stream that other Fitocrats can view, comment on and share, and otherwise encourage. Signing up at the Fitocracy website also provides data syncing between the Web app and mobile, as well as the option to automatically post your updates to Twitter or Facebook. -- ( www.tomsguide.com).

UTILIZING CONTENT ANALYSIS ON THEKNOT.COM TO STUDY AN ONLINE WEDDING PLANNING COMMUNITY FOR NEW JERSEY By ALYSON H. THELIN A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication, Information and Library Studies Written under the direction of Dr. John V. Pavlik And approved by _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Utilizing Content Analysis on TheKnot.com to Study an Online Wedding Planning Community for New Jersey by ALYSON H. THELIN Dissertation Director: Dr. John V. Pavlik As with other aspects of our culture today, wedding planning is increasingly discussed and implemented online. Information is disseminated through online media attention, advertising, and computer mediated communication. The latter provides an avenue through which the impact of community building and relational culture can be established. My dissertation analyzes an online wedding planning forum on TheKnot.com to exemplify the ways by which a community is built through online postings and discusses the characteristics of this community. Utilizing the uses and gratification theory, content gratifications are examined through the types of topics publically viewable on an active online wedding planning Website. Because of the extensive reach of such forums, one particular region, New Jersey, will be examined. Process gratifications will be discussed as participants share personal experiences from their time spent on this particular online bulletin board planning their wedding celebration. Furthermore, the dynamics of interaction among this group will be analyzed over the course of half a calendar year and will show the types of interaction taking place through content analysis.

An Assessment of Mobile Fitness Games
An Assessment of Mobile Fitness Games An Interactive Qualifying Project by Alex Carli-Dorsey James Jackman Nicholas Massa Date: 01/30/2015 Report Submitted to: Bengisu Tulu and Emmanuel Agu Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. 1 Abstract The purpose of this project was to find, document, and review mobile fitness games from the Android and iTunes marketplace, with a focus on those that encourage physical exercise. Using a variety of marketplaces and web searches, we, among a group of recruited and willing participants under study, played and reviewed Android and iPhone games that featured movement as an integral part of the game. We reported how effective the game is for fitness, and how engaging the content is for players. We provided reviews that can be used by: 1) Individuals seeking an enjoyable method of achieving a certain level of fitness, and 2) Game developers hoping to produce a compelling mobile fitness game of their own. 2 Table of Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................................................... 2 1.

Extracting Signal from the Noise of App Reviews
Extracting Signal from the Noise of App Reviews Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Leonard Hoon 2016 Copyright © 2016 Leonard Hoon Abstract The App Store and Google Play are mobile app store fronts furnished with a public review system. The competition on these store fronts is intense– developers can push new releases to users directly; users can publicly express opinions on the apps they have used. The resulting transparent feedback loop, while evident to the app community, is visi- ble to competitors as well. Studying these app reviews within a domain can inform the design of their own competing app, exploiting any prior user dissatisfaction. Thus, it behoves developers to maintain quality, in either attempts to enter this market with a new app or efforts in continuous refinement of an existing app portfolio. Opinion mining research has yielded observations of interest to busi- nesses by analysing user reviews of their products. These research efforts leverage static analysis techniques and natural language pro- cessing approaches to discern generalisable patterns and analyse con- tent. However, a good framework to mine mobile app reviews for content useful to app developers is lacking. Our work addresses this gap. In this thesis we demonstrate that the majority of reviews when read in isolation, do not yield developers much actionable feedback. However, using a series of analytics, we can construct a frame of context to detect developer-useful information. More specifically, our work analyses 8.7 million reviews from 17,330 apps at a store–, category– and app-level perspective.

How Gamification Is Changing Fitness July 2012
POINTS FOR PUSHUPS: HOW GAMIFICATION IS CHANGING FITNESS JULY 2012 Presented by Timothy Herman in association with Algonquin College Executive Summary Gamification is the application of game design elements in non-game contexts. Hundreds of companies are finding ways to apply “Games are the new these game elements to their products and processes in order to better motivate and normal.” engage with their clients. Some of these processes have been in common use for - Al Gore, decades, but the past few years have seen a Former US Vice-President rapid increase in gamified processes.This trend appears set to continue in the future. Game elements, such as points, levels, and badges, are used to meet universal basic human needs and desires. By meeting these desires, such as the needs for status or achievement, users will be more engaged with the process, and even tedious tasks can be made enjoyable. One company is applying these principles to personal fitness with great success. With the motto ‘Get addicted to your fitness’, startup Fitocracy’s goal is to use the principles of gamification to promote fitness and health. Section I. What is Gamification? At the most fundamental level, Gamification can be defined as “the use of game design elements in non-game contexts”1. These game elements are used to change people’s behaviour. Game elements can be anything from aesthetics common to games, such as graphics “Play is not the and progress bars, to the inclusion of overarching goals, plot, rules, levels, quests and opposite of work.” achievements all powered by real actions.
