Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the 'SmartLife' intervention on reducing sedentary behavior and increasing physical activity among adolescents and to investigate the engagement in the exergame. This will be compared in three groups: an intervention group that will receive a tailored exergame; an active control condition that will receive a non-tailored exergame; and a passive control condition that receives no intervention.

Conditions

  • Physical Activity
  • Health Behavior

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

'SmartLife' with tailored feedback

'SmartLife' game with tailored feedback: mobile exergame with tailored feedback. Feedback will be based on accelerometer data from a sensor that is integrated in a T-shirt. The sensor captures individually calibrated accelerometer data and is paired with the mobile exergame. Depending on the physical activity intensity of the player, the game challenge and feedback adapts individually in real-time.

BEHAVIORAL

'SmartLife' without tailored feedback

'SmartLife' without tailored feedback: mobile exergame without tailored feedback. The mobile exergame will not be paired to any sensor. The participant can play the mobile game, yet, will not receive any real-time feedback or adjustment in the game on physical activity intensity.

BEHAVIORAL

No game

Passive control: School classes will be asked to continue their daily life as usual.
