ABSTRACT

The primary objective of this research revolves around trying to educate individuals on
the proper way to exercise safely and effectively. The project designed and developed a system
which runs on a cell phone with Android environment. The physical fitness application gives
information about what to do for exercise that will allow people to see and track their fitness
progress through the application’s calendar.
Before an individual begins to exercise, the application will suggest that the user
calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI feature allows the user to see the ratio
between height and weight. Following an index, the application will suggest choices of the
corresponding exercises.
The secondary aim of this study is to suggest possible nutrition to stay healthy throughout
the use of the fitness application based on height, weight, age, exercise levels and target weight
and use these data to suggest a sensible daily calorie intake.
In the application, there are a number of exercises with pictures and clear instructions on
how to perform them. There are also several android applications for fitness and health but
Fitness and Gym Usage is a new mobile application composed of various functions that contain
BMI calculator, heart tracker, gym training, and health and nutrition tips. The application helps
users perform safe and proper exercise to maintain fitness.
Key words: Fitness, health and nutrition, android application, fitness app

CHAPTER I
BACKGROUND OF THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROJECT

Overview of the Current State of Technology
Technology is growing every day and its use has become more widespread increasingly
permeating many human activities including the monitoring of fitness and health. Technology
has become an essential part of our lives that it has become easier, cheaper and more convenient
to monitor fitness and health through the use of apps in mobile devices. Devices such as
smartphones, tablets, and wearable have potential to create fitness and health monitors designed
to improve well-being. Today, the use of technology in tracking the state of fitness and health
has become more pervasive than ever.

Health information technology and fitness technology (e.g., heart rate monitors, step
counters, health portals and fitness and gym usage) are positively impacting health care users by
receiving higher quality of care and increased access to health information. Fitness and health
technology has the ability to not only improve users’ physical activities level, but also the
potential to transform healthcare.
Technological advancement has led to a dramatic increase in mobile devices worldwide.
It has also developed many ways of attaining and monitoring health and fitness. Mobile devices
with internet connection improve users’ information on methods that stimulate fitness and health.
Wireless technology is increasingly being used for enabling information access and improving

ENVERGA UNIVERSITY
the content of fitness and health methodology. With mobile apps, it is easier to motivate users to
pay attention to their fitness and health regimen.
Technology presents endless possibilities when it comes to marrying fitness and
healthcare in mobile devices. There are literally thousands of smartphone apps to help track and
monitor individual fitness and health. Thus, smartphone technology has become a handy device
to maintain healthy lifestyle.
One of the biggest technologies is smartphones with Android operating system. There are
tens of thousands of apps, over 30,000 for Android alone, dedicated to fitness and health. Most
are devoted to specific aspects of fitness such as tracking and monitoring workout and exercises
and gymnastics. Most apps feature specific aspects of health such as counting one’s steps,
tracking weight, and monitoring a diet or calories intake. However, the combination of fitness
and health is the trend in information development and software applications that are included in
fitness and gym usage application.
The benefits of keeping track of one’s fitness and health by using smartphone app cannot

be underestimated. Statistics show that 46% of people who have taken to tracking their fitness
and health change their overall approach to their fitness and health. In fact, 40% of those tracking
their fitness and health have sought advice from others, and 34% even took the important
decision to treat an illness or health condition based on their tracking (Pew Research Center,
2015).
Monitoring fitness and health is the biggest feature of most fitness and health apps. By
using Android fitness and gym usage application, users can break bad habits and follow good

ones, leading to a path of better health, increased fitness and better nutrition. They can also help
users lose weight to avoid chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Project Context
The researcher examined Android fitness and gym usage applications to determine how
such mobile applications can be made more efficient and suitable for users who aim to start an
exercise regimen that will help them attain their goal of physical fitness safely. The fitness
application needs to support users’ objective to know the best the exercises they can do for
specific parts of the body like the neck, shoulders, biceps, triceps, forearms, back, chest,
abdomen, thigh, and calves.
The apps should also take into consideration the users’ busy life where they need to insert
fitness as an essential activity to preserve their health and wellness and at the same time strike a
balance between work and exercise in their lives. It is not easy to attain the goal of health and
wellness unless one has a workable and viable program. One of the easiest and most viable

programs is through gym and fitness and even nutrition apps that one can follow at one’s own
pace every day.
Using apps on mobile phones, the fitness enthusiast is empowered to do his own regimen
to improve his life. They can choose a specific program of fitness that is most convenient or even
inspiring, educational and entertaining for the users so that they can sustain the program they
have set for themselves. They do not need to hire their personal trainer or coach since a fitness
and gym usage application can be the perfect substitute.

This project developed a dual mobile-based system and web server. The mobile device
supports the client while the web server supports the server. On the client side, the application
has a number of features that totally helps the users reach and use the application in an easy way.
On the server side, the web server records database, log user’s information, push new fitness,
video and tips while supporting the application.
There are many essential features of the application significant to fitness and health
monitoring. Using a heart rate monitor will improve running more quickly than simply relying
on how one feels. A heart rate monitor is like having a coach along for every workout. It ensures
that the user trains at an appropriate intensity, neither too hard nor too easy. When it is time to
work a bit harder, the user will check the heart rate on the application to track the tolerance of the
heart. The user can rely on it to keep under control. A heart rate monitor makes achieving the
right intensity of fitness much easier to determine. After checking the heart rate monitor, it will
show information like numbers; then the user needs a reference point, a heart rate unique to the
user at a given of intensity. Depending on the heart rate number, the user can decide what fitness

and health regimen to take.
Running, for many, is hard work. It might be due to the fact that running is a motivation
thing and maybe a physical thing, too. Whatever it is, exercise is equated with pain. Using a
running tracker however can make the user track his pace to avoid pain. This is simply tracking
steps or basic movement. The user gets proper tracking of his workout and helps him determine
what training plan (lose weight, train for a race, or just get started) and what levels of workout to
follow. Furthermore, if he is interested in finding out the distance of a route, trail, or other places

as he runs, the mobile device can track it as it is internet-connected, allowing the user to use
Google Maps. Currently the distance tracker supports the following functionalities – jump
directly to a location via the address search, create dynamic routes by clicking on the map, and
view route distances.
Healthy eating is not easy but it is one of the keys to living healthy and getting in shape.
The diet plan weight loss tracks calories effectively, or gets a little deeper and analyzes fats or
carbs. The diet plan is like a personal food coach that guides the user to eat healthy. The user
may choose from different diets like vegetarian, healthy lifestyle, and high protein intake even as
the diet assistant lays out a daily plan that gets the user on the right track to get healthier.
The focus is clear, which enables users to avail the services in all facilities and
establishments using touchscreen on an Android mobile phone. The combination of smartphone
and Internet service was utilized in the information development and software applications.

The Need to Develop the System

Today, health is one of the biggest concerns of the World Health Organization (WHO).
WHO aims to help people attain the best health. Health is a state of complete physical, mental
and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. The enjoyment of the
highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being
without distinction of race, religion, economic or social condition. The health of all people is
fundamental to the attainment of peace and security and is dependent upon the fullest cooperation of individuals.

The importance of physical fitness could not be described enough. In today’s society
physical fitness is moving towards a more sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle. There are greater
needs than ever to increase the daily activity level to conserve both cardiovascular fitness and
body weight. Starting activity means keeping your body functioning at a high level. Regular
fitness will conserve the performance of your lung and heart to more efficiently burn off excess
calories and keep your weight under control. Fitness will also improve muscle strength, joint
flexibility and endurance.
When it comes to fitness improvement, every little effort counts. Thus, the application
created a fitness application that helps users start tracking their physical activity effortlessly by
becoming more active and motivated. The user can set a program and monitor fitness goals based
on activity levels shown in the calendar. It is a great tool to discover how active a person is while
monitoring fitness and health, living healthier, and staying motivated with one’s fitness goals.
Actually, the user can check in just about anywhere, including one’s phone or tablet.
Most people at one time or another use computers and guidebooks. Other people also rely
on instructions written on a piece of paper and the experiences using these helping “tools” are

divided. This opens a window to a new market using handheld and mobile devices, a typical
illustration being the android mobile phone-based guiding application called “Fitness and Gym
Usage.” The introduction of smartphones has made a significant impact on the lives of people
leading to major improvements in mobile application developments. Using this application
people do not need to register for fitness membership and do not need to buy a guidebook. They
do not need a personal tutor or trainer and most especially they do not have to pay for the

installed application that is easy to carry and use. With the advancement of technology, mobile
devices have made it easier to access information anytime, anywhere. Generally, the best
important need of developing this application is enhancement of health and fitness knowledge.

Goals and Objectives of the Project
The project developed an Android application for fitness and gym usage application
designed to help users monitor and manage fitness and health. The subject application can
enhance fitness and health knowledge, improve skills and provide the most effective workout can
possible to reach specific fitness goals.
The following are the specific objectives of the project:
1. to identify the ideal features and requirements of the proposed mobile applications
based on a review of related systems.
2. to design the proposed android-based fitness application based on identified features
and requirements;
3. to develop the mobile application by using the Rapid Application Development
methodology and technologies such as Android SDK for the mobile application, and
PHP and MySQL for the web interface of the system;
4. to test and evaluate the developed fitness application through expert and user
feedback based on the ISO 251010 (the new software quality standards) software
evaluation questionnaire.

Scopes and Constraints
The project deliverable is a functional prototype of a fitness application built for the
android platform. The mobile application should perform the following functionalities such as

DEVELOPMENT OF AN ANDROID APPLICATION

ENVERGA UNIVERSITY
body mass index, fitness, health and nutrition. Each feature is really necessary for the health
progression.
When the user is first running on application, a panel appears and notifies that the user
needs to create a personal profile which includes the user’s information such as height, weight,
sex, and age. After that the application proposes the user to calculate the Body Mass Index
(BMI) and to make a decision on what the state of the user is. Based on the calculators of BMI,
the application suggests to the user which program to perform. After that, the user schedules
what activities they like to do or want to try. In order to start creating a day-by-day fitness plan,
the user needs to decide ahead of time what activity plan he has for the week, month or several
months. By using the “calendar”, the user can schedule all the weekly activities that can be easily
followed.
In choosing the heart tracker, the user can measure their heart rate through the analysis of
the user tip of the index finger using the phone’s camera. To monitor heart rate, the user needs to
place their finger tip on the camera lens. The application will analyze and track heart rate that
will appear on the screen after some time. The result will request health advice and prescribe an
appropriate program for fitness.
In choosing gym training, the app displays a list of videos following the order of

categories. There are a number of fitness categories that the user can choose from in which they
can proceed at a selected time. There are several video tutorials to guide the user functioning as a
personal coach. The application will let user know when it is time for the next set and drag up to
show a summary of user current and earlier sessions while working out.

The proposed application is a collection of many features significant to fitness and health
monitoring and management. By observing other applications that are related to fitness and
health, it is apparent that other applications contain only a few features and this is what the
proposed application addressed. The proposed application has other value-added features not
found in other apps as discussed earlier.
However, the proposed application also has some constraints. It is designed for Android
environment and can only run in a mobile android. There are some constraints and knowledge
about features of fitness and health limitation and there a number of features that could have
been performed in the application were it not for the time constraint. The time allowed for
developing the application is too short to embed other features into the application. Run tracker
would have been an enjoyable feature in that it will test user’s running and the running process
will be timed and the running distance will be saved to be depicted on Google map. However,
this feature requires GPS capability Google term and policy precludes it. The application does
not completely replace gym equipment. It only serves as a personal tutorial which can bring
about fitness and health to the user.

Benefits and Impact

“Health is gold” is true in the face of the cost of the medical treatment and maintenance
of such lifestyle diseases as hypertension, diabetes and cancer. If a person wants to feel better,
have more energy and perhaps live longer, he does not need to go any further. All he needs to do
is maintain his fitness and health. The health benefits of regular fitness and physical activities are

ENVERGA UNIVERSITY
hard to ignore. On the other hand, the benefits of fitness are for everybody’s taking, regardless of
age, physical abilities and gender.
Fitness and Gym Usage is an android application for learning fitness skills and
monitoring healthcare that helps users have more knowledge on monitoring fitness and health.
By using this application many useful benefits in bodily movement, weight control and overall
wellbeing can be derived.
The following stakeholders will benefit from using the proposed application:
1. Students who need a balanced life while engaged in stressful academic activities can use
the app to become fitter and healthier at no cost.
2. Employees who sit all day at work and generally have a sedentary lifestyle can unwind
using the app, enjoy the outdoors, or simply engage in fitness after work hours.
3. Coaches and personal trainers in fitness training center can use this application to teach
athletes efficiently.
4. Underweight or overweight individuals can use the app to follow a program or regimen to
attain the desired weight through proper nutrition and exercise.
5. Elders who need balance in life can use the app to avoid debilitating health conditions
and diseases. A fitness and health regimen can help elders manage or prevent health

problems and concerns, including metabolic syndrome, stroke, depression, and certain
types of cancer.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE, STUDIES, AND SYSTEMS

This chapter presents a review of related literatures, studies, and systems that helped in
the conceptualization of the project.

E-Health and M-Health
Electronic Health (or E-Health) is the transfer of health resources and health care by
electronic means (WTO, 2014). E-Health is the delivery of health information, for health
professionals and health consumers in the field of health care, through the Internet and
telecommunications. Using the power of IT and e-commerce to improve public health services,
e.g. through the education and training of health workers, E-Health is an emerging field in the
intersection of medical informatics, public health and business, referring to health services and
information delivered or enhanced through the Internet and related technologies such as intranet,
broadcast, video/audio tape, interactive TV.
E-Health provides a new method for using health resources such as information, money,
and medicines and the time should help to improve efficient use of these resources. The Internet
also provides a new medium information dissemination, and for interaction and collaboration
among institutions, health professionals, health providers. Examples of E-Health tools include
electronic health records, health information websites, decision support programs and electronic
prescribing software.
