Digital interventions: a tool to promote physical activity among university students

The increasing sedentary behavior among university students is a global public health concern. Nearly 30% of students fail to meet the minimum physical activity recommendations, putting them at higher risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions. In response to this challenge, digital technologies—including mobile apps, wearable devices, and social platforms—present an innovative opportunity to encourage young adults to adopt a more active lifestyle.
