This Special Issue attempts to offer a thorough and critical examination of emerging technologies in physical activity and health promotion, considering technological interventions in different contexts (communities, clinics, schools, homes, etc.) among various populations, exploring the challenges of integrating technology into physical activity promotion, and offering solutions for its implementation. This Special Issue aims to take 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 various emerging technologies, including, but not limited to: Active video games (exergaming); social media; mobile device apps; health wearables; mobile games, augmented reality games, global positioning and geographic information systems; and virtual reality. Offering a logical and clear critique of emerging technologies in physical activity and health promotion, this Special Issue will provide useful suggestions and practical implications for researchers, practitioners, and educators in the fields of public health, kinesiology, physical activity and health, and healthcare.accelerometersaccelerometryactive video gameactive video gamesactive video gamingair qualityAmazonAmazon Web Servicesanxietyappaugmented realityAutismautism spectrum disorderbreast cancercardiorespiratory fitnessdepressiondigital healthepochexerciseFitbitsfitnessGoogleGoogle Glasshealth navigatorheart rateintelligence quotientKorean American immigrant womenlight physical activitylocomotor skillsmammogrammeasurementmental healthmHealthmobile phone-based health interventionmoderate-to-vigorous physical activitymotor activitymotor skill competencemusculoskeletal fitnessnarrative reviewobject control skillspedometersperceived environmental factorphysical activityphysical activity assessmentphysical activity levelsphysical exerciseplacement sitepreoperative anxietypreoperative experiencequality of lifereal-time physical activityrecreational physical activitysafetyscreen based sedentary behaviorsedentary behaviorsedentary behavioursenior citizensserious gamessex differencesmartglassessocial cognitive theorysocial communicationsocio-ecological modeltechnologyvirtual realityvirtual reality gamewearable technologywrist-worn activity trackeryoung childrenLee Jung Eunauth1328706Gao ZanauthBOOK9910346677803321Emerging Technology Applications to Promote Physical Activity and Health3038852UNINA
