Abstract
Engaging people in exercise is vital for the health of the
population. Health issues such as obesity are significant
ongoing concerns for governments and society across the
world, which can be improved through increasing the
exercise activities of the population. The problem of lack
of motivation for and engagement in exercise is well
known, and so identifying techniques to improve
engagement in exercise activities is worthy of
investigation. This project reports on an initiative designed
to increase both the duration of exercise activity and the
intensity of exercise activity, through a gamified exercise
solution. Preliminary results indicate that augmenting
traditional exercise equipment with gamified elements can
increase the time spent exercising, when compared to nongamified
exercise equipment.
