Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Time spent in sedentary behavior — 3 and 6 months follow-up
The time spent sedentary behavior (min/week) in the last 7 days - Acceptability of the Mobile Phone-Based Intervention — 3 and 6 months follow-up
Acceptability will be assessed using a series of 4 items from previous studies on mobile physical activity interventions. Participants will rate each statement on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The statements will cover aspects such as ease of use, personal relevance, clarity of information, and overall satisfaction with the intervention. - Perceived Usefulness of the Mobile Phone-Based Intervention — 3 and 6 months follow-up
Perceived usefulness will be assessed using 5 items from previous studies on online physical activity interventions. Participants will rate each question on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (not at all useful) to 5 (very useful). The questions will explore how useful participants found the intervention in helping them to (1) increase confidence in engaging in regular physical activity, (2) overcome barriers to physical activity, (3) increase support for participating in physical activity, (4) plan for physical activity, and (5) stay motivated to engage in physical activity.
