简要总结
The researchers are investigating whether adding mobile technology to a home-based exercise counselling program makes it easier for youth to begin and maintain regular exercise. Participants who joins the study will receive exercise counselling from an exercise specialist, but half of all participants will receive mobile technology - a fitness watch - that links to a mobile phone App. The mobile App allows the exercise specialist to provide personalized feedback throughout the program via the fitness watch. The investigators are interested to know whether the fitness watch and mobile App will make it easier for youth to achieve their exercise goals. Both groups will be compared to an active control group, who will receive no exercise program.
详细描述
Purpose:
The investigators aim to undertake an experimental trial using exercise training in adolescents, evaluating a theoretical model where mHealth technology, allowing biometric informed feedback and coaching, is incorporated into a structured home-based exercise and physical activity (PA) intervention. The overall objective is to have an evidence-based exercise and PA intervention ready to evaluate in a future randomised controlled trial (RCT).
Hypothesis:
It is hypothesized that this approach will increase both habitual PA and adherence to structured exercise of the appropriate intensity to promote improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and vascular function.
