简要总结
This feasibility study specifically addresses the issue of adapting US dietary guidelines physical activity recommendations to the population of the Lower Mississippi Delta. The hypothesis is that including a pedometer as a self-monitoring tool as part of adapted physical activity guidelines will result in greater immediate increases in physical activity (as monitored by an accelerometer) than an education program alone.
详细描述
The purpose of this study was to determine if a short-term pedometer-based intervention results in immediate increases in time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) compared to a minimal educational intervention.A sample of 43 overweight adults 35 to 64 years of age participated in a one week pedometer-based feasibility trial monitored by accelerometry. Participants were randomized into a one-week education-only group or a group that also wore a pedometer. Accelerometer-measured MVPA was measured over 7 days at baseline and post-intervention.

结局指标
主要结局
Minutes spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)
时间窗: The primary outcome is measured at baseline and after a 7-day intervention period (1 week)
A GT3X accelerometer is used to monitor each participants physical activity levels for seven consecutive days at baseline and again following a 7-day intervention period. The amount of time per day spent above a threshold of 2200 accelerometer counts/min is averaged over at least three days as the measure of MVPA.
