In the underlying study on the Move Republic app, various exclusion criteria were defined that restrict participation in the study.
Health restrictions:
Participants suffering from acute health problems that affect their ability to exercise are excluded from participation. This includes, in particular, acute injuries or illnesses that make physical activity impossible or significantly restrict it.
Lack of possession of a smartphone:
As the Move Republic app is based on the use of a smartphone, people who do not have a compatible iOS or Android device will not be able to participate in the study.
Incomplete consent:
Individuals who have not fully consented to participate in the study or to the use of their data will also not be included. This ensures that all participants are fully informed and participate in the study voluntarily
