Continuous evaluation of biological and physiological metrics of sports personalities, evaluating general health status, and alerting for life-saving treatments, is supposed to enhance efficiency and healthy performance. Wearable devices with acceptable form factors compact, flexibility, minimal power consumption, etc., are needed for continuous monitoring to avoid affecting everyday operations, thereby retaining functional effectiveness and consumer satisfaction. This research focuses on the acceleration tracker for particularizing the work. Acceleration data is typically collected on battery-powered sensors for activity detection, referring to an exchange between high-precision detection and energy-efficient processing. From a feature selection perspective, the paper explores this trade-off. It suggests an Energy-Efficient Behavior Recognition System with a comprehensive energy utilization model and the Multi-objective Algorithm of Particle Swarm Optimization (EEBRS-MPSO). Therefore, using Random Forest (RF) classifiers, the model and algorithm are tested to measure the precision of identification and obtain the task’s best performance with the lowest energy consumption, among other biologically-inspired algorithms. The findings indicate that energy consumption for data storage and data processing is minimized with magnitude relative to the raw data method by choosing suitable groups of attributes. Thus, the platform allows a scalable range of feature clusters that require the authors to provide an adequate power adjustment for given target use.

Recently, gamified wearable fitness trackers have received greater attention and usage among sport consumers. Although a moderate amount of aerobic physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of many serious illnesses, physical inactivity issues are still prominent. Although wearable fitness trackers have the potential to contribute to physical activity engagement and sustainable health outcomes, there are dwindling engagement and discontinuance issues. Thus, examining its gamification elements and role in physical activity becomes critical. This study examined the gamification elements in wearable fitness trackers and their role in physical activity and sports engagement. A comprehensive literature review yielded 26 articles that empirically measured a variety of gamification features and the effect of the device on physical activity and sports engagement. The study suggests three key gamification themes: goal-based, social-based, and rewards-based gamification that can be a point of interest for future scholars and practitioners. Based on the review, we propose a conceptual framework that embraces motivational affordances and engagement in physical activity and sports.
