The purpose of this study is to determine whether interaction with an adaptive Fitbit-based goal setting application can increase levels of everyday light intensity physical activity in middle-aged adults.
The study is designed to examine the efficacy of a Fitbit-based, goal setting, mHealth intervention to increase light intensity physical activity. The study design is a 2-arm randomized controlled trial. Both groups will receive the underlying goal-setting intervention (adaptive daily step goals). The study involves 3 phases: a run-in ("calibration") phase, the intervention ("training") phase, and follow-up (1- and 12-months post-intervention). To support goal maintenance our team has developed a Fitbit application designed to operate on the Fitbit Versa series watch as a 'clockface'. The app…
