Desenvolvimento do FIT RUN: Um Aplicativo com IA para Otimizar o Treinamento de Corrida Ritmada.

Abstract

Running has consolidated itself as one of the most practiced sports globally, a phenomenon evidenced by the trend report \cite{strava2024}, which points to an increase in the proportion of people running compared to the year 2023, with 21% of its global users recording running activities. This expansion is significant for public health, given that regular physical activity is a key protective factor in combating cardiovascular diseases and hypertension \cite{who2022}. With this growth, there is also an increased search for training methodologies that optimize performance and bring more dynamism to the runner's routine. In this context, Fartlek, a Swedish training method which translates to "speed play", combines aerobic and anaerobic exercises and has been widely used by runners worldwide. This work presents Fit Run, a mobile application designed to assist in the practice of Fartlek, structuring varied workouts and offering personalized feedback via Artificial Intelligence to optimize athlete performance.
