If you’re struggling with workout motivation, this can give you the extra push you need.
Researchers from Penn Medicine and Deloitte Consulting teamed up for a study, called STEP UP, that brought more gaming elements to wearable devices, including collaboration, different points and levels, and competition.
One group was built around a social structure, with a designated “sponsor” providing encouragement, while another was more collaborative, with three-person teams that worked together to achieve more points. The third group was more competitive, with three-person teams that competed against each other.
But it was the check-in three months after the competition ended that showed how much competition can fuel motivation. Even though the challenge was done, participants in that group continued to have nearly 600 daily steps more than the control group, while the other two groups dropped down in step count.
All of that led to motivating participants to build habits that remained in place after the challenge was complete.
