Cohort 3 student Tim Arueyingho publishes a Journal Article entitled ‘Digital Health Promotion For Fitness Enthusiasts In Africa’ in the IEEE Journal.
Tim had this to say about the publication:
‘The review paper takes a different approach in understanding the role of technology in promoting exercise among fitness enthusiasts in Africa. It begins by discussing what health promotion is and extends it to Digital Health promotion. It also differentiates between fitness enthusiasts/recreational athletes, athletes and persons who engage in fitness as a form of lifestyle modification. Thereafter, it highlights technological interventions being used by fitness enthusiasts globally before streamlining to the African context. The paper stresses on the lack of sufficient literature on interventions being used in Africa and absence of focus on fitness enthusiasts. It is an educational piece and riveting read that hopes to create awareness for gaps in literature that might be interesting points of research.
