Study & Design

• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Design: Not specified

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The total duration and bouts of sitting as measured by two activity monitors: the ActivPAL3 activity monitor, the gold standard for postural allocation, and the GENEActiv to measure intensity of activity.[Baseline, and 6 weeks (post intervention assessment).];The total duration of sitting and the types and context of sedentary behaviours as measured by the Multimedia Activity Recall for Children and Adults (MARCA).[Baseline and 6 weeks (post intervention assessment).]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility of the goal setting intervention as assessed by a project evaluation form. The form will contain a series of 5 point Likert scale questions to determine participants’ satisfaction with the program including; the materials, feedback, phone calls, support, wearing of the monitors, and overall burden relating to the program. Participants will also be invited to provide further comments. The feasibility of the participant recruitment and management processes will also be assessed by evaluating uptake of the program (% of eligible participants who enrol in the study) and retention (% of enrolled participants completing the post-intervention assessment).[6 weeks (post intervention assessment)]
