Effects of an Exercise Intervention Based on mHealth Technology on the Physical Health of Male University Students With Overweight and Obesity: Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Obesity has become one of today's global health challenges. According to the World Health Organization, in 2022, a total of 2.5 billion adults aged 18 years and older will be overweight, including more than 890 million adults with obesity.

Objective

Exercise interventions based on mobile health (mHealth) technology are widely available, but the effectiveness and feasibility of interventions using mHealth apps and exercise watches to improve the physical health of male college students with overweight and obesity are unknown, and this study compares the effects of online interventions carried out by mHealth technology and offline interventions guided by physical trainers on the physical health of male college students with overweight and obesity.
