ABSTRACT
Goal-setting has shown some promise in promoting physical activity behavior change among adults. In this context, adaptive goal setting has been identified as a relevant future research area. However, it is not yet addressed in research sufficiently. We present a theoretical approach for adaptively supporting users in goal-setting. We explore potentials of using heart rate variability (HRV) for tailoring goal-setting in activity tracking applications. In consideration of intrapersonal variance in HRV, we suggest strategies for adaptively supporting goal-setting. We indicate the potential of HRV as a parameter for designing supportive activity tracking applications.
