PERSONA
Bob is 16 years old, he is a student (high school) and he
lives with his family, mother, father and two brothers, near
Rome (Grottaferrata). He likes sport, watching tv series
and going out with friends. He is a promising competitive
athlete, so he usually trains every day in the athletic track
near his house.
Bob’s dream is to win an Olympic medal.
SCENARIO
It’s Friday and Bob has a free afternoon because he has
got no school homework. He thinks to go to the training
field for trying the start from the blocks for the races that
will be there soon, but his trainer is not available because
he is out of the city.
Bob decides to go anyway to the field, so he’s looking for
a training app in Google PlayStore that can help him.

18. Athletic trainer
PERSONA
Andrew is 27 years old, he comes from Trapani. He is a
working student and an athletic trainer. He lives alone in a
rent house, in Torino, near his university (Politecnico). He
works as a salesman in a McDonald near Torino. Due to
his activities, he has got a few free time, which he spends
in staying with his family and friends.
Hence Andrew lives far from his hurdlers, but however he
would like to monitor their trainings.
SCENARIO
Andrew is at university and suddenly some of his athletes
call him to have advices for the future training sessions.
So Andrew plans to consult on Sunday morning the
athletes’ results without contacting them one by one, with
the final objective of answering to the requests.
Through an app Andrew would see the results of their
past training in order to tell them what should be the
training session.

19. Mature sport-addicted
PERSONA
Jack is 43 years old farmer. He lives in Borgo Grappa (LT)
with his family, composed by his wife, daughter and dog.
He loves practicing activities in contact with nature, like
fishing and hunting.
Jack is addicted to be fit, so he reads many papers about
health (diet plan) and does exercise every time he has no
family or working duties.
SCENARIO
Jack comes back from work and goes to his usually
Monday training session. He wants to measure his fitness
improvements, but he can’t interact with a human trainer
because the timetables of the near gyms collide with his
work.
He is doing workout with his friend, David, and they want
to record their performances correctly. Usually they
record time of each other with a physical stopwatch, but
they waste so many time in doing this.
19

20. Amateur runner
PERSONA
Alice is a 19 years-old unemployed. She lives in Latina
with her parents. She’s very pessimistic about the future
because of the common lack of work nearby. She tries
through workout to leave back her bad feelings, so she
usually agrees with her friends to go running on the
pedestrian track near the beach.
She is a competitive person, hence she‘d like to see how
much she has improved her performance compared to
her training partners.
SCENARIO
On Saturday morning Marco, Alice’s friend, calls Alice for
suggesting a more professional training for the day: going
to CONI fields and running on athletic track, recording
results. Alice agrees and they make the experience in
CONI structure.
Nevertheless, they realize that without an expert trainer
they aren’t able to register their performances correctly
and with precision.
