“…The liking strategy was clearly shown in the Exerlean Bike System [ 72 ], as it provides children with attractive audial, textual, and visual representations for both Memory and ExerMath games and through the use of sensors and a stationary bike to easily enable the children to do PAs while responding to the games' assignments, as shown in Figure 8C . Other examples of liking and expertise strategies are found in the “Active2Gether” system when an expert designer was hired to design and provide recommendations on diverse aspects of the user interface to give the system an appropriate look and feel for the users [ 175 ].…”

Persuasive technology (PT) is increasingly being used in the health and wellness domain to motivate and assist users with different lifestyles and behavioral health issues to change their attitudes and/or behaviors. There is growing evidence that PT can be effective at promoting behaviors in many health and wellness domains, including promoting physical activity (PA), healthy eating, and reducing sedentary behavior (SB). SB has been shown to pose a risk to overall health. Thus, reducing SB and increasing PA have been the focus of much PT work. This paper aims to provide a systematic review of PTs for promoting PA and reducing SB. Specifically, we answer some fundamental questions regarding its design and effectiveness based on an empirical review of the literature on PTs for promoting PA and discouraging SB, from 2003 to 2019 (170 papers). There are three main objectives: (1) to evaluate the effectiveness of PT in promoting PA and reducing SB; (2) to summarize and highlight trends in the outcomes such as system design, research methods, persuasive strategies employed and their implementaions, behavioral theories, and employed technological platforms; (3) to reveal the pitfalls and gaps in the present literature that can be leveraged and used to inform future research on designing PT for PA and SB.

“…This study aims to bridge this gap and deliver practical game design implications. Our work complements other exergames studies on context (e.g., education [1], medical [12,40]) and benefits (e.g., exercise effectiveness and adherence [41], social relationships [40], and cognitive function [9]). …”

“…Prior to the experiment, we carefully measured the resistance force of the bike (by referring to [23]) and found that the force ranges from 4.89 kp to 35.32 kp, under a 0.5 meter flywheel circumference. 1 Output was presented on a 24-inch display with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels.…”

Exergame controllers are intended to add fun to monotonous exercise. However, studies on exergame controllers mostly focus on designing new controllers and exploring specific application domains without analyzing human factors, such as performance, comfort, and effort. In this paper, we examine the characteristics of a speed-based exergame controller that bear on human factors related to body movement and exercise. Users performed tasks such as changing and maintaining exercise speed for avatar control while their performance was measured. The exergame controller follows Fitts' law, but requires longer movement time than a gamepad and Wiimote. As well, resistance force and target speed affect performance. User experience data confirm that the comfort and mental effort are adequate as practical game controllers. The paper concludes with discussion on applying our findings to practical exergame design.

“…Another crucial factor that limits the scope of these games is the hardware that must be applied. Peripherals such as depth cameras, controllers and special platforms like bicycle or step platforms [3,39] are typically mandatory for the implementation of the games, making them more complicated in terms of both architecture and cost.…”

This work describes a novel methodology for creating exergames on an edge-native platform with the integration of multiple deep neural networks. A prototype of the platform, which includes capabilities for innovative gameplay and advanced user interactivity, has been implemented and deployed in a real-world scenario. At core of the proposed methodology is the ad hoc training of classifiers for posture classification which can be dynamically adapted to the specific requirements of the usage scenario, operational and environmental conditions allowing for real-time identification of events and advanced game control. The proposed solution is ideal for individual consumers in a home environment since is supports by-design edge platforms minimizing the cost of the system and enabling in parallel the communication with state-of-the-art hardware (i.e., GPUs, TPUs, computer boards) for real-time operation. The proposed system allows the collection and analysis of game data, which can be exploited by specialized personnel in rehabilitation centers or for other purposes in the areas of healthcare and assisted living.
