📝 Abstract
Providing guidance is frequently referenced as a key capability of digital health interventions targeting physical activity, yet the term remains poorly defined and inconsistently applied. Existing work often conflates guidance with related constructs such as personalisation, feedback, or persuasion, limiting both theoretical clarity and design progress. This paper conceptualises an initial design space of guidance in the context of digital physical activity support. We define guidance for physical activity as situated, action-oriented support that scaffolds users' embodied engagement in physical activity. Drawing on literature from behaviour change, human-computer interaction, embodied cognition, and digital health, we outline a design space that characterises guidance along multiple dimensions: scope, purpose, timing, context, modality, embodiment, adaptivity, autonomy, and affective quality. By offering a structured vocabulary and conceptual foundation, this work aims to support more coherent research, comparisons, and responsible design of digital health interventions featuring guidance for physical activity support.
