Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a huge increase in the use of apps to perform physical exercises. In this context, this paper presents the results of a Systematic Mapping of Literature (SML) of studies that report the evaluation of Usability and User Experience of applications intended for physical exercises, in order to recognize which methods are most suitable for the identifying and selecting a tool to help users in achieving their goals: weight loss, lean mass gain, etc. The results show that 42% of the studies use the SUS questionnaire, 14% use the think aloud method, only 7% the cognitive walkthrough, and 37% other methods.
