Increasing the Reinforcing Value of Exercise in Overweight Adults.
TL;DR: Increasing the relative reinforcing value of exercise (RRVexercise; i.e., incentive sensitization of exercise) may increase the usual physical activity (PA) participation, while 600 kcal, 5 days/week may be needed to increase exercise reinforcement.

Kelsey Ufholz,James J. Werner +1 more
TL;DR: A review of mobile weight loss apps can be found in this article , where the authors describe the features and effectiveness of mobile health apps, including self-monitoring of diet, exercise, and weight, social support and educational content.
Inducing incentive sensitization of exercise reinforcement among adults who do not regularly exercise-A randomized controlled trial.
TL;DR: Whether exercise exposures increase exercise reinforcement relative to a sedentary alternative and whether this sensitization of exercise reinforcement would alter physical or sedentary behavior was determined and increases in tolerance for exercise intensity discomfort were associated with increases in relative reinforcing value of exercise.
Eating Responses to External Food Cues in Weight Discordant Siblings.
TL;DR: Weight-discordant adolescent siblings show little similarity in responses to food cues, and nonshared factors other than cue responsivity must contribute to weight differences of adolescent siblings.
