简要总结
The study evaluates the effectiveness of the game-intervention in promotion of physical activity self-efficacy and physical activity behavior among early adolescents (10-13 year olds). Half of the study participants will receive the game-intervention and half of the study participants will receive a commercially available sport and fitness application for running, cycling and every-day training.
详细描述
The study evaluates the effectiveness of the game-intervention in promotion of physical activity self-efficacy and physical activity behavior among early 10 to 13 years old adolescents. Participants allocated to the Health game intervention group will use a game called Movenator, during a four week intervention and participants allocated to the Sport and fitness-intervention group will use a commercially available Sport and fitness application for running, cycling and every-day training, during a four week intervention period.

研究组 & 干预措施
Health game
Health game intervention consists of 20 minutes guided training session with the mobile health game at school and 4 weeks free usage of the game via own smart phone during free time. Smart phones are tracking the actual physical activity (steps) of the participants via activity sensors and the tracked steps work as In-App Currency enabling the participants to play the game and proceed in it.
干预措施: Health game (Behavioral)
Sport and fitness application
Sport and fitness application intervention consists of 20 minutes guided training session with the app at school and 4 weeks free usage of the app via own smart phone during free time. Sport and fitness application, when turned on, tracks the physical activity (running, cycling and every-day training) of the participant.
干预措施: Sport and fitness application (Behavioral)
