Digital future-self interventions to promote physical activity: perspectives of minimally active middle-aged and older adults
Based on the insights, we recommend prioritizing mental imagery future-self interventions with clear default settings - such as future-self task order - while allowing for personalization to optimize user engagement and effectiveness. Findings from this study provide actionable guidance for developing digital physical activity interventions tailored to minimally active middle-aged to older adults.
