Abstract
Studies in clinical medicine have demonstrated that the neurotransmitters released when students increase their physical activities make students more concentrated and stabilized, and this may lead to satisfactory academic performance. Additionally, surveys have indicated that peers can be an essential motivation for students to take part in exercise and physical activity in class. In this ongoing study, an incorporated cloud environment of health management applications and behavior modification strategies combined with online community game were proposed to improve students’ physical activities and academic performances. A reliable and accurate measurement tool was also used to increase reliability and validity of the study.
