“…Numerous studies suggest and experimentally substantiate various approaches to monitoring the motor activity of athletes: from the use of special formulas (Cho & Tian, 2019;King et al, 2008) to the use of mobile technologies (Henriksen et al, 2018;Wennman, 2019), such as fitness trackers and various types of accelerometers (Lee & Shiroma, 2014;Yoo et al, 2017). However, as the results of our study showed, only the implementation of self-monitoring through the systematization and classification of the most accessible for young people of various physical exercises of a cyclic nature, allows to achieve a positive result.…”

“…Today, the Internet offers many programs and methods of physical exercises that encourage users to replace their usual physical activity Wahl et al, 2017). However, many amateur athletes who have not previously used the Internet fitness industry cannot optimally integrate into the fitness process through a mobile device overnight (Cho & Tian, 2019;Sushames et al, 2016). Moreover, an individual approach to the implementation of physical activity and a longer period to search for a suitable and accessible type of training are necessary (Iconaru et al, 2018;Nagovitsyn et al, 2018;Yoo et al, 2017).…”

Background: In home conditions population of Russian Federation do not have an opportunity to do optimal physical activities during the period of spreading COVID-19. The aim of the study was to develop a system of realization step exercises in home conditions using the independent calorimetry during the period regime of selfisolation and to prove its effectiveness on the indicators of body mass index of the people. Study participants: 62 women and men between the ages of 18 and 45 who have problems with being overweight. Interventions: The study was being conducted in home conditions during 60 days. During the experiment the participants independently carried out the calorimetry, taking into account the consumed calories during the day and burning kilocalories while doing step exercises and another physical activity. For carrying out the calorimetry during the day a formula was developed due to available and simple counting: «N = 0.00168 -0.098/P», where N -the amount of burning kilocalories per one heartbeat per one kg of body mass, P -heart rate per minute. Main outcome measures: It is defined out that the introduction of step exercises in home conditions with the use of independent calorimetry to the author's system has made a significant impact (p < .05) on body mass index of participants. Findings. In the presented study, for the first time, the regularities of increasing the burning of kilocalories in people at various levels of intensity depending on their body weight were experimentally revealed.

“…If we perceive that others are using tracking apps, we are likely to perceive they are also engaging in physical activity. We focus on descriptive norms (vs. injunctive norms) given that descriptive norms have been associated with technology and internet use in prior work (Cho, 2011; Sumaedi & Sumardjo, 2020), as well as exercise intentions and behaviors (Cho & Tian, 2021). Finally, we proposed that intentions to use tracking apps would be positively associated with intentions to engage in physical activity ( H4 ) .…”

Research on mHealth apps provides mixed evidence regarding their effectiveness for behavior change, including physical activity. Synthesizing prior perspectives, we test predictors of tracking app and physical activity intentions (Study 1; n = 658) and their links to everyday mobility (Study 2; n = 418; n = 27,617,440 observations). Study 1 showed that individuals have overlapping perceptions of tracking apps and physical activity. Taking a naturalistic mobile sensing approach, Study 2 found that tracking app and physical activity intentions predicted self-reported physical activity – but not logged movement (i.e., walking, cycling, or running). Tracking app use was not related to the level of logged movement in daily life. However, participants who regularly used tracking apps were more likely to view them as impactful, suggesting that daily mHealth app use is related to perceived (vs. observed) behavior change. Together, our studies illuminate how perceptions of mobility and mobile media – and their effects – can become intertwined in users’ minds.

“…However, evidence relating these constructs to other potentially healthy behaviours, such as exercise, has been inconclusive [9]. Specifically, the scientific literature presents evidence that supports both the absence [10] and the presence of a relationship between descriptive norms and exercise intention [11,12]. The absence of conclusive evidence invites further exploration of the relationship between these variables.…”

Based on the theory of planned behaviour and self-determination theory, the objective of the present study was to analyse the relationship between (i) parents’ and peers’ autonomy support, and (ii) exercise intention in adolescents, while also considering the mediating role of attitude, control, subjective norms, and descriptive norms. A total of 428 secondary school students, aged between 13 and 19 years old (Mage = 15.30, SD = 1.15), filled in a questionnaire assessing the variables of interest. The relationships between the study variables were examined through a mediation model with bootstrapping technique (20,000 samples) using Mplus v. 7 software. The results showed that the perception of parents’ autonomy support was positively and statistically significant associated with exercise intention; this occurring indirectly through attitude and control both in boys and girls, as well as through subjective norms in the case of girls. Conversely, the perception of peers’ autonomy support was positively and statistically significant associated with exercise intention; this occurring directly both in boys and girls, as well as indirectly through attitude in the case of girls. These findings suggest that, by involving a form of pressure (i.e., subjective/descriptive norms), perceptions of autonomy support may play a more important role than other forms of social influence in predicting exercise intention in adolescents.
