研究概览
简要总结
The primary purpose of this study is to test an Internet based program along with an enhanced pedometer to promote walking in people with diabetes. The major research question to be answered is if counseling and feedback that emphasizes a 10-minute minimum duration for physical activity bouts result in a different pattern of walking behavior compared to counseling and feedback focusing only on total daily accumulated steps.
详细描述
Objective #1: To develop and test a computer program that automatically collects enhanced pedometer data, records the data in a format suitable for statistical analysis, and generates a personally tailored motivational web page and distributes an e-mail reminder message to encourage the participant to log on to his/her website.
Objective #2: To compare total daily steps in people with diabetes randomized to two different 6-week pedometer and web-based walking interventions. The two interventions will differ only in the emphasis for goal setting and feedback.
Group 1: Emphasizes 10-minute minimum duration of physical activity bouts
Group 2: Emphasizes total daily steps without regard to duration of walking bouts
Objective #3: To compare steps accumulated in walking bouts lasting for at least 10 minutes between the same two groups of participants with diabetes.
