Brief Summary: According to the Health Belief Model HBM ones intention to engage in physical activity PA is strongly and favourably related to their actual PA behaviour Etheridge Sinyard Brindle 2023 Kagee Freeman 2017 According to a meta-analysis that looked at the connection between PA intention and conduct 54 of those who had the intention to be active did so and just 2 of people who initially had no intention of engaging in PA later modified their behaviour Rhodes de Bruijn 2013 Therefore having PA intention is a crucial and helpful step to participate in PAWebb Sheeran 2006

Digital games include TV or console games PC games portable games and others Such games have recently been employed as teaching learning and training aids in a variety of contexts including medical education Rosenberg et al 2010 Previous research has shown that motion sensor video games have positive effects on promoting healthy lifestyles including engagement in physical activity and disseminating health-related knowledge DeSmet et al 2014 Foley Maddison 2010 Lenhart Kahne Middaugh Evans Vitek 2008 Meanwhile video games at least onceday for 1 week had positive effects on individuals well-being and family relationships Foley Maddison 2010 Halbrook ODonnell Msetfi 2019 Drawing on the HBM playing digital game could be the cue to action which increases peoples intention to engage in physical activities

Our study aims to fill the gap by examining the effectiveness of motion-sensoring game-based intervention in increasing the intention of performing PA as well as personal and family well-being
Detailed Description: Health promotion refers to the process through which individuals are empowered to enhance their control over their health and work towards its improvement Smith Tang Nutbeam 2006 The primary obstacles encountered in prior health promotion initiatives predominantly involve participant engagement and the allocation of adequate resources for execution Korda 2013 Owing to the rapid digital transformation in recent decades digital games are becoming increasingly popular approaches for health promotion that could cover the above challenges

Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent and manage noncommunicable diseases NCDs such as heart disease stroke diabetes and several cancers It also helps prevent hypertension maintain healthy body weight and can improve mental health quality of life and well-being Intention is such a strong psychological predictor of behaviour including PA as a result PA intention has been an important and useful precursor to PA participation

Therefore our study aims to explore the effectiveness of motion-sensoring game-based intervention in increasing intention to perform physical activity The intervention is a kind of motion-sensoring game based on Nintendo Switch that can accommodate 1-4 individuals engaging their entire bodies in the physical motions involved and will last 1-2 minutes each session It is notable that our project apps a kind of mobile game will be a placebo that was developed to promote family well-being in Hong Kong has been applied in previous community events and received high satisfaction and positive feedback from both community participants and NGO social workers We hypothesize that the motion-sensoring would promote the intention on participating in PA as well as self-perceived personal and family well-being

The primary objective is to promote the intention to perform physical activity The secondary objectives are to enhance the knowledge of PA and to enhance their personal and family well-being
