Among patients seeking mental health care, both shorter and longer than optimal #Sleep duration were associated with worse subsequent mood, and higher #PhysicalActivity was linked to improved mood, though with diminishing effects at higher levels.

Understanding User Perspectives to Inform Personalized Physical Activity Promotion in a Health Care App: Qualitative Focus Group Interview Study Background: Health care apps are widely used to support weight loss and lifestyle modification. Many of these apps offer tailored feedback on dietary intake and nutritional behavior. However, most lack personalized features that promote physical activity (PA), which is important for weight management, metabolic health, and chronic disease prevention. To develop future personalized PA promotion functions, it is essential to understand users’ perceptions of PA. Objective: This study aimed to explore health care app users’ perception of PA, including perceived motivators and barriers. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted using focus group interviews with health care app users. Participants were recruited regardless of age, sex, or body mass index. A thematic analysis was conducted using a combination of inductive and deductive approaches. Question 1 (“How do you perceive the importance of physical activity?”) was analyzed inductively, whereas questions 2 (“What are the motivating factors for engaging in physical activity?”) and 3 (“What are the barriers to engaging in physical activity?”) were analyzed deductively based on the social ecological model. Results: Eleven participants were interviewed and were unfamiliar with the term “physical activity” but recognized the importance of movement and reducing sedentary behavior. The identified motivators included improvements in mood; changes in physical appearance; support from family; alignment with personal routines and conditions (eg, goal setting, feedback, reminders, and praise); and tailoring to physical condition, daily schedules, and weather. The reported barriers included time restrictions due to work, fatigue, weather, remote work, and social pressure in workplace settings. Conclusions: This study provides user-informed insights that can inform the design of personalized approaches better aligned with daily routines, competing demands, and situational barriers. Future work should evaluate how incorporating such user perspectives into personalized support strategies affects engagement and PA.

Tailored Online Physical Activity Coaching for Middle-Aged and Older Adults With Cognitive and Mental Health Concerns: Single-Arm Pre-Post Intervention Study Background: Low levels of physical activity (PA) increase dementia risk, and for middle-aged and older adults with co-occurring cognitive concerns and mental health symptoms, dementia risk increases further. Despite clinical trials showing lower adherence to PA interventions in high-risk groups, there is a sparsity of interventions tailored to support unique behavior change needs. In EXCEL (Exercise for Cognitive Health) phase 1, we developed a model to understand the needs of this population and identified tailoring requirements to enhance engagement. Here we report the findings of a pilot online intervention designed to support middle-aged and older adults with subjective cognitive decline or mild cognitive impairment and mild to moderate symptoms of depression or anxiety to meet PA guidelines. Objective: We aimed to measure (1) efficacy of the intervention in promoting adoption of PA in line with national guidelines, (2) acceptability, feasibility, and safety of the intervention, (3) changes to dementia risk, PA levels, mental health symptoms, and stages of change, and (4) changes in potential cognitive mechanisms of change. Methods: A pilot individual 12-week online home-based PA intervention. Participants aged 45-80 years, experiencing both cognitive and mild-to-moderate anxiety and depression symptoms, were prescribed individually tailored PA programs combining aerobic and strength PA, plus balance training as indicated, with fortnightly online coaching. Results: A total of 55 participants were enrolled (46 females/9 males; mean age 62.2, SD 7.6 y). The intervention was effective; at baseline, only 3 of 55 (6%) participants met all applicable PA guidelines, compared to 24 of 55 (44%) participants post intervention (

Motives of #Children for #Digital Gaming and #PhysicalActivity and Their #Parents’ Perceptions: Cross-Sectional Matched-Pair Study Background: #PhysicalActivity (PA) is essential for the healthy development of #Children. However, the pervasive presence of #Digital technologies has made #Digital gaming (DG) a prominent part of #Children’s everyday lives. As #Children grow up immersed in these #Digital environments, concerns about reduced PA have intensified. Given that adults, particularly #Parents and guardians, play a central role in guiding #Children’s behavior, their understanding of #Children’s motivational drivers for both PA and DG is of particular relevance. Objective: This study aimed to explore the motivational differences underlying #Children’s engagement in either PA or DG. Specifically, the study investigated five distinct motivational scales (recreation, social interaction, coping, competition, and skill) to determine which motives primarily drive behavior in each context. Also, it assessed whether adults accurately perceive these motives in #Children. Methods: Data were collected during events using an on-site questionnaire based on the Videogaming Motives Questionnaire. Both #Children and their accompanying adults completed parallel assessments regarding motives for PA and DG. The final sample included 94 participants forming 49 #Parent-#Child pairs. A 3-way mixed ANOVA with group as a between-subjects factor and activity and motive as within-subjects factors was conducted to examine group, activity, and motive effects and their interactions. To further explore these effects, a series of 2 × 5 repeated measures ANOVAs were conducted to examine the interaction between activity type and motivational dimension across groups, followed by separate multivariate tests per motive. Results: A significant interaction effect between activity type and motivational dimension emerged in the #Children’s data (=3.93, =.008, partial =.259). Further analyses showed that motive competition was rated significantly higher for DG than for PA (=4.38, =.04, partial =.084). Among adults, separate multivariate tests for each motivational dimension revealed the largest difference in perceived motive coping (=4.72, =.01, partial =.123), with PA rated higher than DG. Additionally, a significant difference emerged for motive competition (=4.10, =.05, partial =.079), indicating higher ratings for DG compared to PA. Conclusions: The findings emphasize the complexity of #Children’s motivational profiles, suggesting that engagement in DG is not necessarily a sign of diminished interest in PA but rather reflects alternative, equally compelling motivations. This nuanced understanding challenges simplistic dichotomies and supports the need for balanced perspectives on #Children’s activity preferences. Importantly, no statistically significant differences were detected between #Children’s self-reported motives and adults’ perceptions of their #Children’s motives, suggesting a general tendency toward similar ratings rather than clear evidence of alignment. These insights can inform the development of more tailored strategies for promoting both physical and #Digital engagement in a healthy and complementary manner.
