Abstract

Despite the increasing usage of fitness applications, there is a dearth of research examining how expectations from fitness applications impact people's post-adoption consumption and health satisfaction. A novel research framework, spanning across pre- and post-adoption phases and involving a two-stage data collection, is proposed with additional contextual variables like technology self-efficacy, user-interface quality and perceived privacy, playing an important role in determining the continual usage for fitness applications and subsequent health satisfaction, shaped through pre-adoption expectations. Results of this work, conducted in India, not only enable an extension of the traditional adoption and post-adoption theories into the realm of fitness applications but also provide practitioners with guidance for developing fitness applications that enhance post-adoption engagement.
