- Registration Number
- NCT07087457
- Lead Sponsor
- Akdeniz University
- Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of human and digital stimulus exercise interventions based on the transtheoretical model on increasing physical activity levels in sedentary office workers. In the study, which is planned to be conducted with a randomized crossover design, participants will be randomly assigned to different intervention conditions (human and digital stimulus). Interventions will be structured in accordance with the behavior change stages of individuals and will be implemented over a certain period of time. Within the scope of the study, physiological indicators such as heart rate variability will be evaluated along with physical activity level. This study is aimed to contribute to the development of evidence-based intervention models to support the physical activity habits of individuals working in an office environment.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1. Physical Activity Assessment At baseline, in the washout period after intervention A (6th week) and after intervention B (11th week) International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form: The questionnaire consists of seven questions covering all types of physical activity. Physical activity levels are categorized as physically inactive, low physical activity, and adequate physical activity.
Transtheoretic Model Scale for physical activity At baseline, in the washout period after intervention A (6th week) and after intervention B (11th week) This scale has four dimensions.
1. Exercise Stages of Change: The scale consists of a single question with five options. Based on participants' responses, the exercise stage of change they are in is determined.
2. Exercise Change Processes: The scale consists of 28 items, 10 sub-dimensions, and two main processes (cognitive and behavioral). Cognitive processes include increased awareness, dramatic help/emotional revitalization, environmental reappraisal, self-reappraisal, and social liberation. Behavioral processes include contrast/opposition, helping relationships, reinforcement management, self-liberation, and stimulus control.
3. Exercise Self-Efficacy: This scale aims to assess an individual's strengths regarding exercise behavior.
4. Exercise Decision-Making Balance: Explains the cognitive factors and motivational factors that play a role in the decision-making process for the individual's exercise behavior.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Heart Rate Variability At baseline, during the washout period after intervention A (week 6), and after intervention B (week 11) Heart Rate Variability is an important physiological indicator related to the interactions between the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. HRV, a control system used to regulate unconscious actions such as heart function, respiration, digestion, blood pressure, urination, and pupil dilation/contraction, is used to analyze the autonomic nervous system. In our study, we will use the Polar H10 Chest Strap, a widely used research tool, to determine HRV. In a validation study, linear HRV measurements obtained from the Polar H10 chest strap demonstrated strong agreement compared to ECG recordings.
