Effect of a Gamified Family-Based Exercise Intervention on Adherence to 24-Hour Movement Behavior Recommendations in Preschool Children: Single-Center Pragmatic Trial

Effect of a Gamified Family-Based Exercise Intervention on Adherence to 24-Hour Movement Behavior Recommendations in Preschool Children: Single-Center Pragmatic Trial

Research further indicates a decline in PA from early childhood to adolescence [13,14], which contributes to the increased rates of overweight and obesity in this population, as well as a decline in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) [15,16]. Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior (SB) have contributed to declining physical fitness (PF) levels among children [17].

Body Fat and Obesity Rates, Cardiovascular Fitness, and the Feasibility of a Low-Intensity Non–Weight-Centric Educational Intervention Among Late Adolescents: Quasi-Experimental Study

Body Fat and Obesity Rates, Cardiovascular Fitness, and the Feasibility of a Low-Intensity Non–Weight-Centric Educational Intervention Among Late Adolescents: Quasi-Experimental Study

While all forms of physical activity are beneficial, current evidence indicates that vigorous-intensity exercise may be particularly effective in improving body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cardiometabolic health markers in adolescents [8,9]. Despite this, there remains a gap in studies exploring the relationship between physical activity behaviors and cardiovascular fitness among adolescents in Saudi Arabia.

Mitochondrial Fitness Science Communication for Aging Adults: Prospective Formative Pilot Study

Mitochondrial Fitness Science Communication for Aging Adults: Prospective Formative Pilot Study

Our previous work revealed strong community interest in the topic of energy homeostasis, specifically, “how the body makes energy” [12], and we subsequently developed and tested a health and wellness program, AFRESH (Aging and Frailty: Resilience and Energy in the Second Half of Life), incorporating didactic content on mitochondrial fitness [13].

Assessing Digital Phenotyping for App Recommendations and Sustained Engagement: Cohort Study

Assessing Digital Phenotyping for App Recommendations and Sustained Engagement: Cohort Study

Nike Training Club Fitness offers home workouts to healthy recipes [29]. All apps were found through the Mobile Health Index and Navigation Database (MINDapps) developed by the Division of Digital Psychiatry [30]. For this study, we created a new filter on MINDapps to display the app(s) when participants were recommended or selected an app (Figure 2).

Efficacy of a Multimodal Digital Behavior Change Intervention on Lifestyle Behavior, Cardiometabolic Biomarkers, and Medical Expenditure: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Efficacy of a Multimodal Digital Behavior Change Intervention on Lifestyle Behavior, Cardiometabolic Biomarkers, and Medical Expenditure: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

The Fitbit DBCI included 5 components: a wearable health and fitness device (participant choice of Fitbit Inspire 2 tracker or Versa 3 smartwatch), a wireless weight scale (Fitbit Aria Air), the Fitbit app (provided basic tracking and goal setting functionalities), Fitbit Premium (provided additional advanced metrics and rich video content through the Fitbit app), and an on-demand human health coach (provided goal setting, action planning, and accountability support through secure, asynchronous, in-app messaging

Technology-Supported Physical Activity and Its Potential as a Tool to Promote Young Women’s Physical Activity and Physical Literacy: Systematic Review

Technology-Supported Physical Activity and Its Potential as a Tool to Promote Young Women’s Physical Activity and Physical Literacy: Systematic Review

Technology-supported PA can be defined as the use of some form of interactive technology or digitally accessed information to promote PA through (1) the demonstration of PA (eg, prerecorded or live-streamed fitness classes), (2) interaction with a device that provides feedback (eg, smartphones and wearable fitness trackers), and (3) interaction with fitness professionals (eg, web-based personal training) or other users of technology-supported PA (eg, through a fitness app or social media platform) [24,27,29,30

Assessing the Accuracy of Smartwatch-Based Estimation of Maximum Oxygen Uptake Using the Apple Watch Series 7: Validation Study

Assessing the Accuracy of Smartwatch-Based Estimation of Maximum Oxygen Uptake Using the Apple Watch Series 7: Validation Study

The concept of the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), established in 1923 by Hill and Lupton [1] is a fundamental measure in assessing cardiorespiratory fitness [2] and is also often used to determine an individual’s physical fitness level [3,4]. Cardiorespiratory fitness is defined as the ability of the circulatory and respiratory systems to supply oxygen to the muscles during sustained physical activity [3]. VO2max is also often used as a performance measure [5,6].

Using a Human-Centered Design Process to Evaluate and Optimize User Experience of a Website (InPACT at Home) to Promote Youth Physical Activity: Case Study

Using a Human-Centered Design Process to Evaluate and Optimize User Experience of a Website (InPACT at Home) to Promote Youth Physical Activity: Case Study

Physical education teachers, fitness professionals, pediatric exercise physiologists, athletes, and high school students from across the state of Michigan were recruited and hired to develop exercise videos that were developmentally appropriate and could be completed at home with no or minimal equipment. The types of exercises included were aerobic, isometric strength training, motor skills, sports skills, yoga, and mindfulness training.
