These studies suggest that gamification can increase motivation and engagement in health and fitness applications, particularly through extrinsic rewards and behavior change techniques, but its effects on intrinsic motivation and long-term engagement are mixed.
Gamification, the application of game design elements in non-game contexts, has gained traction in various fields, including health and fitness. This approach aims to enhance user motivation and engagement by making activities more enjoyable and rewarding. This synthesis explores the impact of gamification on motivation and engagement in health and fitness applications, drawing insights from multiple research studies.

Challenges and Limitations:
Gamification in health and fitness applications generally enhances motivation and engagement, particularly through extrinsic rewards and positive emotional experiences. However, its impact on intrinsic motivation is less clear, and the quality of evidence varies. Combining gamification with wearable devices shows promise for promoting physical activity, but further high-quality research is needed to optimize these interventions.
