Abstract

Emerging technologies have transformed every facet of modern life, including physical activity (PA) and health. This book explores a paradox: while technological advancements can contribute to greater physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyles, they can also serve as powerful tools to counteract these effects. Among these innovations, artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) now play a key role, offering adaptive, conversational, and predictive tools that extend far beyond traditional wearables.
