Oneopportunity is leveraging the collaborative nature in the workplace toencourage peer-based physical activity. However, the social effectsof peer bonding may be influenced by contextual factors, such asthe proximity between co-workers in the office.First, we conducted a field-study consisting of three weeks tounderstand the proximity effects in peer-based collaborativephysical activity. The study involved 10 pairs of co-workers (5distributed vs. 5 co-located) using mi-band to facilitate acollaborative step goal. We collected daily steps, collaborativegoals, and interview data.The Field Study [1]introductioninterview Iinterview IIinterview IIIbaselineweekactivitytrackinginterventionweekactivitytrackingPCFTpost-interventionweekactivitytrackingOur findings:• Collaborative physical activity had a significant effect onparticipants’ daily steps F(2, 36) = 3.463, p < 0.05.• The close proximity positively affected the adoption of peer-based collaborative physical activity.

To demonstrate theapplicability of our research insights, we present one student designexample, called Step-by-Step.The Design Case Study [2]Ren, X., Yu, B., Lu, Y., & Brombacher, A.
