The recent development of apps, self-tracking devices, health and exercise content on social media and other digital tools are currently attracting a great deal of social attention. These are digital health tools that are available to people to learn about and improve their health, fitness and wellbeing. Many of these technologies are being adopted by schools, PEteachers, parents, etc. to encourage young people to adopt healthy lifestyles.
