Playful Antisedentary Interactions for Online Meeting Scenarios: A Research Through Design Approach.
Article in JMIR serious games, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOnline meetings have become an integral part of daily life for many people. However, prolonged periods of sitting still in front of screens can lead to significant, long-term health risks. While previous studies have explored various interventions to address sedentary lifestyles, few have specifically focused on mitigating sedentary behavior during online meetings. Furthermore, design opportunities to address this issue in the context of online meetings remain underexplored.
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the design of effective antisedentary interactions for online meeting scenarios and understand user experiences with gamified bodily interactions as an antisedentary measure during online meetings.
methodsThis study adopts a "research through design" approach to develop and explore user experiences of gamified bodily interactions as interventions to mitigate sedentary behavior during online meetings. In collaboration with 11 users, we co-designed and iterated 3 prototypes, which led to the development of the Bodily Interaction Gamification towards Anti-sedentary Online Meeting Environments (BIG-AOME) framework. Using these prototypes, we conducted user studies with 3 groups totaling 15 participants. During co-design and evaluation, all group semistructured interviews were transcribed into written format and analyzed using a conventional qualitative content analysis method.
resultsThe findings demonstrate that gamified bodily interactions encourage users to engage in physical movement while reducing the awkwardness of doing so during online meetings. Seamless integration with meeting software and the inclusion of long-term reward mechanisms can further contribute to sustained use. In addition, such games can serve as online icebreakers or playful tools for decision-making. Drawing from 3 design prototypes, this study offers a comprehensive analysis of each design dimension within the BIG-AOME framework: bodily engagement, attention, bodily interplay, timeliness, and virtual and physical environments.
conclusionsOur research findings indicate that antisedentary bodily interactions designed for online meetings have the potential to mitigate sedentary behaviors while enhancing social connections. Furthermore, the BIG-AOME framework that we propose explores the design space for antisedentary physical interactions in the context of online meetings, detailing pertinent design choices and considerations.
