Abstract

An operating method of an electronic device for providing a customized exercise coaching function may include receiving, from a wearable device worn on a body of a user, sensor data measured by one or more sensors of the wearable device, determining exercise coaching content based on exercise program information of an exercise program and the sensor data during execution of the exercise program using the wearable device, and controlling the determined exercise coaching content to be output. The controlling of the determined exercise coaching content to be output may include, based on the sensor data received from the wearable device, determining performance of the user regarding a first exercise target indicator designated in the exercise program information, based on the determined performance of the user regarding the first exercise target indicator, controlling first exercise coaching content for the first exercise target indicator to be output, based on a determination that the determined performance of the user satisfies a target condition set for the first exercise target indicator, determining performance of the user regarding a second exercise target indicator designated in the exercise program information and having a lower priority than the first exercise target indicator, and based on the determined performance of the user regarding the second exercise target indicator, controlling second exercise coaching content for the second exercise target indicator to be output.
