Desarrollo de una aplicación web que permita medir el rendimiento físico y valoración nutricional de las basquetbolistas en la categoría U15 del “Riobamba Sporting Club”.

Abstract

The aim of this graduate research project was to develop a web application to measure the physical performance and nutritional assessment of basketball players in the RIOBAMBA SPORTING CLUB under-15 division. A PostgreSQL 9.4 database server was utilized, along with JavaServer Faces in the NetBeans 8.2 development environment, Primefaces 4.0 framework, an Itex 5 report library and Glassfish 4.1 for deploying the application. Interviews and surveys were used with managers to identify user requirements. SCRUM methodology was employed to develop an agile and high-quality web application. The application was divided into key modules such as user authentication, roles, manager, coach, nutritionist, athlete, reports and likewise a statistical graphics module that displays the athletes' evaluations. In order to evaluate the functionality of the web application, the ISO/IEC 25010 standard and its sub- characteristics such as functional completeness, functional correctness and functional relevance were studied and evaluated through surveys completed by managers, trainers, the nutritionist and athletes. Favorable results were obtained in terms of functional completeness with an acceptance level of 95%, functional correction with an acceptance level of 92%, and functional relevance with an acceptance level of 93%. It was concluded that the web application's functionality is acceptable and achieves greater precision in comparison to manual methods, therefore, it is recommended that processes are automated in more disciplines in the future.
