研究组 & 干预措施
Usual Care
Usual Care
10,000 Steps Group
Each participant randomized to this study arm will receive a pedometer and a generic recommendation to accumulate 10,000 Steps per Day.
干预措施: Web Mediated Step Intervention (Behavioral)
Web Mediated Step Group
Participants randomized to this study arm receive an introduction to the study website. Each person utilizes the website to track their daily physical activity steps. Goals are given on a weekly basis to increase steps by 10% per day per week over baseline values. The website channels each participant through a series of motivational messages designed to increase compliance with recommended physical activity targets
