Area of Science:

Public Health
Pediatrics
Health Informatics

Background:

Rising global and German prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
Need for innovative interventions to increase physical activity and sports participation.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose an interdisciplinary intervention program, cyberMarathon, for increasing physical activity in youth.
To design and evaluate a sensor-enhanced health information system architecture.

Main Methods:

Development of an interdisciplinary intervention program incorporating health-enabling technologies.
Evaluation of the system in two studies, including a preparatory study using sensors.
Measurement of daily physical activities and feedback provision.

Main Results:

A 7.7% increase in daily physical activities was observed in the preparatory study.
Sensor-based technology and data feedback demonstrated effectiveness.

Conclusions:

Sensor-enhanced health information systems and activity monitoring are effective for adolescent obesity prevention.
Increased physical activity and body awareness contribute to effective health promotion in youth.
