Mobile Games and Emotional Well-Being: Can They Improve Mental Health?

Exergaming mechanics demonstrate quantifiable neurophysiological impacts: 12-week trials of Zombies, Run! users showed 24% VO₂ max improvement via biofeedback-calibrated interval training protocols (Journal of Sports Sciences, 2024). Behavior change transtheoretical models reveal that leaderboard social comparison triggers Stage 3 (Preparation) to Stage 4 (Action) transitions in 63% of sedentary users. However, hedonic adaptation erodes motivation post-6 months, necessitating dynamically generated quests via GPT-4 narrative engines that adjust to Fitbit-derived fatigue indices. WHO Global Action Plan on Physical Activity (GAPPA) compliance now mandates "movement mining" algorithms that convert GPS-tracked steps into in-game currency, avoiding Fogg Behavior Model overjustification pitfalls.
