Supporting Meaningful Personal Fitness: the Tracker Goal Evolution Model
summary
Claims that goals move from internal needs to verbal qualitative goals to concrete numeric goals, supported by interviews (18) and an online survey (162). Presents the Tracker Goal Evolution Model that maps hedonic/eudaimonic needs → qualitative goals → quantitative tracker targets, and identifies trust and reflection as contextual levers. Design takeaways: ask for qualitative goals, explicitly translate why a numeric target fits that goal, show how measurements are computed, and prompt reflection to reconnect numbers to meaning.
