Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The primary endpoint is physical activity (PA) related to participants' self-selected SMART goal (1) as measured by wearables and (2) as measured by daily self-report via ecological momentary assessment. Self-reports are prompted once daily in the evening. We will calculate goal-relevant PA from wearable data by substracting self-reported PA not relevant to the goal from the overall wearable-recorded daily activity. We further measure physical activity with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).<br>We expect those measures to correlate rather strongly and expect both to increase more strongly in the intervention than in the control group. Further, we expect a drop-off from post-intervention to follow-up.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The following variables are considered secondary outcomes. Measured pre- and post-intervention and at follow-up: self-efficacy for physical activity maintenance, subjective health status and well-being, prospective planning of physical activity, scores on the If-Then-Planning-Scale (ITPS).<br>Measured daily: mood, stress. <br>Only in the intervention arm: subjective goal fulfilment (daily) will be explored as a predictor of PA and self-efficacy at follow-up.<br>
