Summary
This study looks at whether game-like features and social rewards can help overweight veterans with high blood pressure become more physically active. About 725 veterans will take part in a 9-month program where they either compete or cooperate to increase their daily steps. The goal is to see if this approach leads to lasting improvements in activity, weight, and blood pressure.
