简要总结
A school based pedometer competition among Year 9 pupils (12 - 14 years old) to promote physical activity (PA).
详细描述
The intervention is separated into three main phases.
Phase One: A 10-week school competition using pedometers and a range of non-financial incentives e.g. t-shirts, pens, badges etc. (April - June 2015).
Phase Two: End of school competition but participants will still keep the pedometers. We will set them various challenges over the summer to keep active (July - Oct 2015).
Phase Three: Removal of all extrinsically motivation factors. Focus on PA maintenance.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention
The intervention group includes 150 participants aged 12-14 across three schools. Each participant has been given a Fitbit Zip pedometer to wear for a six month period and enrolled on the StepSmart challenge. Participants within the intervention group will take part in two competitions during this period.
- School and team based competition. 27/05/15 - 22/06/15 (8 weeks)
- Individually focused competition. 22/06/15 - 26/10/15 (18 weeks)
Prizes of low monetary value will be given to participants based on competition performance
干预措施: The StepSmart Challenge (Behavioral)
Control
The control group for the study involves approximately 90 participants aged 12 - 14. across two schools. Participants within the control group will complete the same measures as the intervention group including wearing an actigraph GT3X accelerometer for a seven day period and completing all questionnaires at the same time points as the intervention group.
