Facebook fun fight: can a photo game get grandmas walking?

NCT ID NCT04095923

Summary

This study is testing if a fun, year-long social media game can help older women become more active. About 300 sedentary women aged 65-85 will either just wear a Fitbit or also play a weekly photo challenge game in a private Facebook group. Researchers want to see if the game makes exercise more enjoyable and leads to more daily steps over 12 months and beyond.
