Inhaltsangabe

Physical Activity, Health and Emerging Technologies explores how technology is reshaping the way we approach fitness and health. Regular physical activity is essential for preventing chronic diseases, improving mental health, and enhancing overall well-being, yet many individuals remain inactive. Traditional interventions often fall short, prompting a shift toward integrating emerging technologies into public health initiatives.

This new book examines how tools like fitness trackers, smartwatches, mobile health apps, and AI- driven platforms provide personalized exercise plans, real-time activity tracking, and sustainable behavior change. It delves into how virtual and augmented reality merge entertainment with movement, while digital health hubs offer comprehensive platforms for tracking progress and engaging users. By leveraging theoretical frameworks such as the Social Ecological Model and Social Cognitive Theory, the book provides evidence-based insights for promoting lifelong physical activity and behavior change.

Blending academic depth with practical applications, Physical Activity, Health and Emerging Technologies offers a comprehensive guide for health professionals, scholars, and college students in the fields of Physical Activity, Assessment and Measurement, Health Promotion and Physical Education.
