Upcoming Webinar
Bibsam Open Science Spotlight: Exploring Exergames and Active Microbreaks for Health
24 March 2025 at 15:00 CEST
The Bibsam license agreement facilitates open publication of scholarly research results and makes it possible for researchers worldwide to access cutting-edge Swedish health research, accelerating innovation in digital health and beyond. As part of the Bibsam Open Science Spotlight series, this webinar will explore how gaming, gamification, and immersive digital experiences can influence health outcomes.
During the session, Aseel Berglund, PhD, Associate Professor, Linköping University, will present findings from a recent study that examines how different types of movement interactions in casual exergames influence physical exertion, motivation, and psychological well-being.
