    The Impact of Habit Trackers, Healthy Lifestyles and Exercise Motives of University Students in Toronto

    In a project funded by Ryerson Athletics and Recreation, the GXSLab is proud to present the official publication of a journal focused on healthy lifestyles for young adults. This study looked to determine the exercise motivations of university students and worked to help academics understand and determine whether a self-reported, healthy-lifestyle habit tracker can improve an individual’s health, generate greater awareness of the benefits of being physically active—including academic benefits of living a healthy lifestyle; and change their behaviors. With this in mind, students from a large downtown Toronto-based university were recruited for this study and were required to answer two surveys, six weeks apart after receiving a healthy lifestyle tracking tool.
