简要总结
The goal of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a family-focused, interactive, and theory-based intervention to reduce the sedentary behavior and increase physical activity, family communication and well-being of the participants.
The intervention is to use Zero-time Exercise, the positive psychology theme "Appreciation and Gratitude" [23, 24], and role modelling approach to get sedentary people to start exercising, increase levels of physical activity, family communication and well-being of the participants and their family members.
The intervention aims to encourage positive and sustainable health actions among participants and their family members.
详细描述
Lack of physical activity is a behavioural risk for non-communicable diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that physical inactivity and unhealthy diets are two of the four main behavioural risk factors that contribute to non-communicable diseases. Globally, people who are overweight and obese, particularly if these people are physically inactive. They are at risk for morbidity and mortality.
Hong Kong-specific data demonstrates that many people cannot meet World Health Organization targets for physical activity. The Hong Kong Behavioural Risk Factor Survey reported that, for the seven days prior to the survey, about half (52.0%) of adults aged 18-64 had not done any moderate physical activity. Overall, only 37.5% of the respondents met the WHO's recommended physical activity level of at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity a week for adults.
There is emerging evidence of effective behavioral interventions to decrease sedentary behavior. Some studies focused on reducing screen time or active workstations that encourage standing at the computer. Others focus on increased use of stairs instead of lifts. These interventions used behaviour change techniques such as goal-setting and behavioural self-monitoring. As previous approaches have not shown promising results, new approaches are needed to reduce sedentary behaviour and increase exercise or physical activity.
The goal of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a family-focused, interactive, and theory-based intervention to reduce the sedentary behavior and increase physical activity of the participants.

研究组 & 干预措施
Zero-time Exercise (PA) group
The intervention arm (PA group) aims to improve family communication and well-being, reduce sedentary behavior and increase physical activity. The programme includes a knowledge and motivation enhancement session at baseline, an experience sharing session at 3 months, a family gathering session at 6 months, and a holistic health session at 12 months after the first session as well as biweekly/monthly mobile messages.
The holistic health session is not a part of the cRCT, it aims to collect one-year feedback from participants and provides additional health information to improve dietary habits.
干预措施: Zero-time Exercise (Behavioral)
Healthy Eating (HE) group
The control arm (HE group) aims to improve family communication and well-being and enhance healthy eating habits. Participants are required to engage their family members in their activities. The programme includes a knowledge and motivation enhancement session at baseline, an experience sharing session at 3 months, a family gathering session at 6 months, and a holistic health session at 12 months after the first session as well as biweekly/monthly mobile messages.
The holistic health session is not a part of the cRCT, it aims to collect one-year feedback from participants and provides additional health information to improve physical activity habit.
干预措施: Healthy Eating (Behavioral)
