Fitness trackers greatly improve exercise adherence

New research reveals that individuals using wearable fitness trackers are seven times more likely to maintain their workout routines for six months. This significantly improves adherence to exercise programs. The study, focusing on adults with type 2 diabetes, found that participants using smartwatches were also ten times more likely to start working out regularly. They were also three times more likely to remain active a year later. The research highlights the effectiveness of combining wearable technology with personalized coaching and behavior change techniques to improve long-term fitness habits. This approach is particularly beneficial for managing health conditions.
