User Research
After surveying about 200 rowers, I came up with the following conclusions:
-
On the water and on the rowing machine, rowers were divided equally.
-
Rowers usually manage their own training, so it's important to provide an interface that's easy to use.
-
The rowers rated the parameters that were important to them, as well as suggested additional parameters.
-
Their results and progress are important to them.
The rowers wants to be in control of their training and to access their data easily.
