They recruited 800 working adults from Singapore and randomly assigned them to various groups. They could get into a control group, a tracker only group, or one of the following reward groups: one with cash rewards and another one with rewards given to a charity of the individual’s choice. The incentives were allocated based on meeting weekly goals of number of steps over a period of six months. The researchers assessed physical activity outcomes, including steps and activity bouts, and health outcomes, including weight and blood pressure at study conclusion and after one year, six months after incentives ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The findings show that regardless of physical activity levels of participants before the study began, activity trackers alone or when combined with rewards designated for charity did not increase activity levels.
