- Brief Summary
This pilot trial examines the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based, social networking exercise intervention in improving physical activity behavior in adults who do not perform regular exercise.
- Detailed Description
Primary Objective To determine the feasibility and acceptability of an 8-week remotely-delivered exercise intervention by conducting a randomized controlled study comparing 3 levels of behavioral engagement.
Secondary Objectives
To compare the effectiveness of 3 levels of web-based interaction on physical activity behavior, physiological training dose, motivation and quality of life. Participants are randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups:
Level 1 (attention control): Participants receive health educational materials through email and the web portal.
Level 2 (videos): Participants receive health education materials + access to 24 pre-recorded exercise videos.
Level 3 (livestream classes): Participant receive health education materials + livestream exercise classes 3 days/week for 8 weeks.
