  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">The aim of this article is to describe the design and development of an  online gymnasium that proposes personalized exercise videos to users  affected by fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic condition  characterized by widespread pain in muscles, ligaments and tendons,  usually associated with sleep disorders and fatigue. Physical exercise  is considered as an important component of non-pharmacological  treatments of this pathology, and the internet is praised as a powerful  resource to promote and improve physical exercise. Yet, while online  personalization of health interventions to consumers must be grounded  on empirically based guidelines, guidelines for fibromyalgia-targeted  exercises are scant. The achievements presented in this paper are  twofold. Firstly, we illustrate how we reached definition of the relevant  factors for tailoring exercise videos in relation to fibromyalgia. Secondly,  we explain the general framework of the application that is composed of  an interview module (that investigates the determinant values of a  specific user), an adaptation module (presenting the tailored set of  exercises) and a logging component (used to monitor users’ interactions  with the website). The paper concludes with a discussion on the  strengths and weaknesses of the proposed approach.</dc:description>
