As technology becomes an ever more prevalent part of everyday life
and population-based physical activity programmes seek new ways to
increase lifelong engagement with physical activity, so the two
have become increasingly linked. This book offers a thorough,
critical examination of emerging technologies in physical activity
and health, considering technological interventions within the
dominant theoretical frameworks, exploring the challenges of
integrating technology into physical activity promotion and
offering solutions for its implementation. Technology in Physical
Activity and Health Promotion occupies a broadly positive stance
toward interactive technology initiatives and, while discussing
some negative implications of an increased use of technology,
offers practical recommendations for promoting physical activity
through a range of media, including: social media mobile apps
global positioning and geographic information systems wearables
active videogames (exergaming) virtual reality settings. Offering a
logical and clear critique of technology in physical activity and
health promotion, this book will serve as an essential reference
for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduate students and scholars
working in public health, physical activity and health and
kinesiology, and healthcare professionals.
