The most important indications for modifying the prototype in the various test phases.

Testing Phase Test Participants’ Indications
Spatial Solutions and Range of Exercises Application Functionalities
Phase 1:
Prototype test
n = 9
Determining the location of path points in the area
Restrictive exercise on the Market Square—location of exercise points in green areas or recreation areas
Attractive form of active leisure
Attractiveness of the city game—expanding information on the history of the city
Possibility of obtaining information on the number of calories burnt
Change from map with paths to active map
Application needs to be improved to be more intuitive
Unreadable and inactive map
Choice of voice or text messages
Phase 2:
Field test
n = 7
Recreational areas and the city park as comfortable places to exercise
In public spaces, comfortable places to exercise with little visibility
Favourable exercise locations that do not interfere with pedestrian traffic
Supplement the application with a paper map
It is important to link the exercise point to the history of the place in order to establish a relationship with the place
Audio files difficult to hear amidst the urban bustle of the Market Square
Phase 3:
Stationary test
n = 8
None Volume control most convenient via phone buttons
Completion of location recording for real changes in location in the field
Supplementation of route information (length and waypoints)
Phase 4:
Field test
n = 11
Enlargement of the signs marking the exercise points, which were placed too low
Helpful brochures with information on the route and exercises
Positive results of the smartwatch-linked application test for data collection and gathering
