This video includes an insight into the role of gamification in sport, fitness and recreation.

I showcased how gamification is playing a significant role in boosting motivation for people who previously may not have participated in physical activity. <br /> <br />References <br />Deterding, S., Dixon, D., Khaled, R. and Nacke, L.
