简要总结
The objective of this 8-week pilot pragmatic randomized controlled trial was to examine the real-world impact of movr on functional movement, flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular fitness.
详细描述
Thousands of mobile apps available for download are geared towards health and fitness, yet limited research has evaluated the real-world effectiveness of such apps. The movr app is an mHealth app designed to enhance physical functioning by prescribing functional movement training based on individualized movement assessments. movr's influence on functional movement and physical fitness (flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular fitness) has not yet been established empirically. Thus, the objective of this 8-week pilot pragmatic randomized controlled trial was to examine the real-world impact of movr on functional movement, flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular fitness.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline in functional movement screen (FMS) at 8-week follow-up
时间窗: Baseline and 8-week follow-up
The 100-point version of the functional movement screen (FMS) was used to identify individual movement patterns. The FMS is a screening tool to assess full body movement patterns and consists of seven core movement tests (deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, active straight-leg raise, shoulder flexibility, trunk stability push-up, and quadruped rotary stability). The seven FMS movement screens were performed by each participant and recorded using a portable observation lab (Noldus) with two video cameras (one shot on a sagittal plane \[side\] view and the other from a frontal plane \[front/back\] view). The standardized FMS verbal instructions were provided by the researcher. The video-based testing was completed to minimize participant burden during lab visits and to blind participants to their FMS scores for each of the movements. Scoring of the FMS was completed at a later time using the video recordings.
