简要总结
This study aims to validate a personalized physical activity algorithm for risk screening and individualized exercise prescription using a modified online Delphi process. International experts in physical activity and exercise will evaluate the algorithm's components over two rounds of questionnaires, with consensus defined as ≥70% agreement. If needed, a focus group will resolve any remaining disagreements. Validation of this algorithm may support safer, more effective autonomous exercise, promoting adherence, improved health outcomes, and population-level benefits.
详细描述
Study Phases - eDelphi Validation of the APPA Algorithm
Phase 1 - Round 1 (Initial Online Questionnaire):
The first phase consists of an online survey in which international experts in physical activity and exercise will evaluate the components of the personalized physical activity algorithm for health risk screening and individualized exercise prescription. Experts will assess the relevance, clarity, and clinical appropriateness of each item. Feedback from this round will identify items requiring modification or clarification.
Phase 2 - Round 2 (Re-evaluation):
The second phase consists of a consecutive online survey round, in which experts will re-evaluate the revised algorithm components based on feedback from Round 1. Experts will have the opportunity to adjust their ratings. This phase aims to move items closer to consensus (≥70% agreement).

研究组 & 干预措施
Expert Panel
Cohort of experts in physical activity and exercise with recognized scientific or professional experience and a relevant doctoral degree. Experts will validate a digital algorithm for health risk screening and individualized physical activity prescription via a modified online Delphi process. Two rounds of anonymous questionnaires will assess the relevance, clarity, and clinical appropriateness of algorithm components. If consensus (≥70% agreement) is not reached, a follow-up online focus group will resolve disagreements. Recruitment will be through institutional emails and professional networks. Participation is voluntary, with informed consent obtained. Panel size: 9-18 experts, consistent with Delphi methodology to ensure representativeness and robustness.
结局指标
主要结局
Expert consensus on algorithm components
时间窗: Up to 2 months
Consensus defined as ≥70% agreement among experts using a 9-point Likert scale in a two-round modified Delphi process evaluating the relevance and clarity of algorithm items.
