Digitale Assistenzsysteme könnten hierbei unterstützend eingesetzt werden. Dies setzt jedoch das Interesse potentieller Nutzer voraus. Methode In einer Online-Befragung wurden im Juni/Juli 2015 Mitarbeiter und Studierende der Universität Potsdam zum individuellen Ausmaß der sportlichen Aktivität, dem Interesse an elektronischer Trainingsunterstützung und weiteren Parametern befragt. Ergebnis 1217 Studierende und 485 Mitarbeiter (67,3 bzw. 67,5% Frauen, 26±4,9 bzw. 42,7±11,7 Jahre) nahmen an der Studie teil. Die empfohlene sportliche Aktivität (≥3 Tage bzw. 150 min/Woche) wurde von 70,1% der Mitarbeiter und 52,7% der Studierenden nicht erreicht. Innerhalb dieser Gruppen zeigten 53,2% (Studierende) bzw. 44,2% (Mitarbeiter), unabhängig von Alter, Geschlecht, BMI bzw. Bildungsniveau, Interesse an einer elektronischen Trainingsunterstützung. Schlussfolgerung Auch in jüngeren Bevölkerungsgruppen mit hohem Bildungsniveau ist die Mehrzahl der Personen unzureichend körperlich aktiv. Ein Interesse an Trainingsunterstützung besteht in etwa der Hälfte dieser sportlich inaktiven Gruppe. Dies legt den Schluss nahe, dass der personalisierte Einsatz mobiler Assistenzsysteme für die positive Beeinflussung des Lebensstils zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnen könnte. N2 - Introduction Though health-enhancing effects of physical activity are well documented, the majority of the population is unable to implement present recommendations into daily routine. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies might be able to increase the physical activity level. However, the interest of potential users is a mandatory basis for this. Method We conducted an online-survey from 06-07/2015 by asking students and employees from the University of Potsdam for their activity level, interest in mHealth training support and other relevant parameters. Results 1 217 students and 485 employees (67.3 % and 67.5 % female, 26.0 +/- 4.9 and 42.7 +/- 11.7 years, respectively) participated in the survey. 70.1 % of employees and 52.7 % of students did not follow the recommendation for physical activity (3 times per week). 53.2 % (students) and 44.2 % (employees), independent of age, sex, BMI and level of education or professional qualification, indicated their interest in mHealth technology offering training support. Conclusion Even in a younger population with higher education, most respondents reported an insufficient level of physical activity. About half of them indicated their interest in training support. Therefore, the use of personalized mHealth technology may be of increasing significance for a positive change of lifestyle.

Mhealth & Uhealth N2 - Background: Although the benefits for health of physical activity (PA) are well documented, the majority of the population is unable to implement present recommendations into daily routine. Mobile health (mHealth) apps could help increase the level of PA. However, this is contingent on the interest of potential users. Objective: The aim of this study was the explorative, nuanced determination of the interest in mHealth apps with respect to PA among students and staff of a university. Methods: We conducted a Web-based survey from June to July 2015 in which students and employees from the University of Potsdam were asked about their activity level, interest in mHealth fitness apps, chronic diseases, and sociodemographic parameters. Results: A total of 1217 students (67.30%, 819/1217; female; 26.0 years [SD 4.9]) and 485 employees (67.5%, 327/485; female; 42.7 years [SD 11.7]) participated in the survey. The recommendation for PA (3 times per week) was not met by 70.1% (340/485) of employees and 52.67% (641/1217) of students. Within these groups, 53.2% (341/641 students) and 44.2% (150/340 employees)—independent of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and level of education or professional qualification—indicated an interest in mHealth fitness apps. Conclusions: Even in a younger, highly educated population, the majority of respondents reported an insufficient level of PA. About half of them indicated their interest in training support. This suggests that the use of personalized mobile fitness apps may become increasingly significant for a positive change of lifestyle.
