title: CyberMarathon - increasing physical activity using health-enabling technologies.
abstract: The prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased worldwide in the last years as well as in Germany. The goal of cyberMarathon is to increase daily activities and participation of children and adolescents on sport courses using health-enabling technologies. Our objective is to propose an approach of an interdisciplinary intervention program containing a concept for architecture for a sensor-enhanced health information system which will be evaluate in two studies. Using sensors and health-enabling technologies in the preparatory study daily physical activities increased by 7,7%. Measuring of daily physical activities, the feedback of the analyzed data and the deal with the own body and activity seems to be an effective prevention for adolescents.
