This randomised study evaluates the effectiveness of Health Education through a Gamified Health Programme on diet, sedentary behaviour and daily physical activity in primary school children.

Conditions

  • Gamification in Health Education
  • Health Education

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention - A

For this Intervention Group, rewards act as the main motivating factor for the children in this intervention group. Each time they complete the activities proposed in the application, they receive a "Bellotex Salud" avatar card, which symbolises their progress and identifies them as "Bellotex Masters". This gamified recognition boosts their involvement and reinforces their adherence to the intervention. In addition, this group does not attend weekly health education sessions, so the improvements observed can be attributed to the use of the app and the motivation generated by the rewards associated with the healthy habits worked on.

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention - B

In this Intervention Group, participants will not have access to the rewards that act as the main motivating factor. Each time they complete the activities proposed in the application, they will pass the challenge but will not receive the "Bellotex Health" avatar card, which symbolises their progress and identifies them as "Bellotex Masters", thus allowing them to assess their potential involvement and adherence to the intervention without the reinforcement of gamified recognition. However, this group has access to weekly health education sessions, so the improvements observed can be attributed to the use of the app and the training received through these capsules associated with different healthy habits.

BEHAVIORAL

Intervention - C

For this Intervention Group, rewards act as the main motivating factor. Each time they complete the activities proposed in the application, they receive a "Bellotex Salud" avatar card, which symbolises their progress and identifies them as "Bellotex Masters". This gamified recognition boosts their involvement and reinforces their adherence to the intervention. In addition, this group has access to weekly health education sessions, so that the improvements observed can be attributed to the use of the app and the training received through these capsules associated with different healthy habits.
