Reordering of exercises - In our original decision, we wanted to add the ability to reorder exercises within a workout. However, implementations problems prevented us from being able to include this feature. (The feature actually worked, but it broke the drag and drop functionality. We felt the drag and drop functionality was more important to the overall usability for the trainer).

Evaluation

Users:

We conducted our user test with two MIT athletic trainers and one MIT student who has had a lot of encounters with athletic trainers. Since the site is a tool for athletic trainers, the athletic trainer is the core of our target population. We also needed one MIT student because they were the target user for the athlete side of Easy Trainer.

Briefing:

The users were given basic information of about the class and intentions the goals of our website. They were told that we would give them a set of tasks, observe them while they completed the tasks, and discuss any suggestions afterwards.

Tasks:

1. Create a new athlete, Josh Smith, and update his injury status to reflect a broken ankle.

3. Remove lunges from his workout and add Clean and jerk (3x15) and add rows (3x10) for all 5 weeks.

4. Add a note to his profile saying that he’s recovered from his injury.
