Should children wear fitness trackers ？
Fitness trackers have been around for years, but only recently have they been engineered for children with kid-friendly designs and a simpler set of features. The features these wearables offer differs from tracker to tracker. Some are focused solely on activity, others are like mini smartwatches, with lots of features on offer and a whole other category of kids wearable focuses solely on location.
But why would your child need a fitness tracker?
Physical inactivity is an increasing public health problem among children and teens across the globe. According to the WHO, insufficient physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for death worldwide. Stats suggest that more than 81% of adolescents between 11 and 17-years-old were insufficiently physically active. Furthermore, the WHO reports that the number of overweight and obese infants and young children (aged 0 to 5 years) increased from 32 million globally in 1990 to 41 million in 2016.
There’s clearly a problem with inactivity and obesity, but can a fitness tracker solve that?
It’s hard to say. There aren’t enough big studies about the efficacy of fitness trackers among children yet, but early research has shown they could have a positive effect.
It makes sense that trackers for children have emerged, packing the same motivational factors we’re used to in trackers for adults into a smaller form factor, like seeing step counts, winning badges and competing with friends and family members to hit their goals.
