Mathematical programming models create personalized exercise plans for diverse goals, including recreation, athletics, and rehabilitation. These adaptable models ensure optimal fitness programs by allowing for updates as individual needs evolve.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Operations Research
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Developing effective exercise programs requires personalization to meet individual needs and goals.
  • Existing methods may lack the flexibility to adapt to changing fitness objectives or constraints.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe mathematical programming models for creating optimal, individualized exercise programs.
  • To demonstrate the adaptability of these models for various user objectives and constraints.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized mathematical programming to formulate exercise prescription models.
  • Developed adaptable models capable of incorporating unique user objectives and constraints.
  • Included an illustrative example for recreational fitness program development.
