Abstract

As smartphones become increasingly useful, people are incorporating them into their daily lives, resulting in lifestyle changes. Moreover, smartphones can serve as a means to promote a healthy lifestyle. In today’s fast-paced world, where pressure is pervasive, it is crucial for individuals to prioritise their own health. According to the latest research by the World Health Organization, obesity has emerged as a significant health threat, emphasising the importance of regular exercise for improving overall well-being. This paper aims to explore the significance of physical exercise, the application of gamification, the theoretical foundations of designing exercise games, and to investigate and analyse successful gamified exercise apps’ gameplay and game elements. The ultimate objective is to establish a strong foundation for future research in creating exceptional smartphone exergames that enhance motivation for sustained physical activity. This involves incorporating appropriate game elements to enhance user experience and enabling individuals to attain both health and happiness through engaging in physical exercise.
