Technological approaches to promoting physical activity

摘要

This paper reflects on the HCI community's current and potential contributions to the problem of promoting physical activity. It does so by first presenting a conceptual overview of existing research, and then draws from the findings of a study of attitudes towards health and health-related behaviour to frame a critical review of the current state of the art. In doing so, we identify an area of outstanding need and opportunity for future research: conveying the value of physical activity to those unconvinced of its importance.
