Do kids move more if they know They're being watched?

NCT ID NCT02844101

Summary

This study tested if telling children and teens that a device they wore tracked their physical activity changed how active they were. Eighty healthy participants aged 10-18 were split into two groups: one was told the device measured activity, and the other was not. Researchers compared the activity levels of both groups over four days to see if the knowledge itself influenced behavior.
