Abstract(s)
Wearable technology is increasing and have radically altered how we live our lives today. Personal wearable systems offer real-time feedback, (Lamont, Daniel, Payne, & Brauer, 2018) which enable people to evaluate several parameters: range of movement, meters or number of steps in a day, walking speed, burnt calories, heart rate, and sleeping hours and also give feedback on physical activity (Lamont et al., 2018). Despite the potential and the wide range of wearables available, there is little knowledge about the interest, usage and preferences for using wearables (Stephanie Alley & Mitch J Duncan, 2016), even the efficacy for using wearables in physical activity promotion. This study aimed to investigate the use of wearable technology in Portugal, in particular how often people use it and how they use it to monitor exercise/physical activity.
