简要总结
The aim of the study is to assess an increase of daily physical activity from electronic self-monitoring, to compare these values to the 10.000 step program, and to compare with real-time feedback with and without guidance from a Personal Coach.
详细描述
The purpose of this intervention study is to determine the effectiveness of continuous self-monitoring and real-time feedback from the SenseWear Armband (BodyMedia) alone and in combination with Personal Coaching to enhance physical activity and influence consciousness about its own physical activity patterns over a 12-month period in sedentary Flemish employees. The investigators hypothesize that the use of the feedback will increase awareness and subsequent physical activity levels of inactive office workers. Another hypothesizes is that the weekly meeting with a Personal Coach will add a controlling element and therefore employees of the 'coaching group' will have a higher physical activity level at the end of the intervention period compared to the other groups.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control group
This group receives no kind of feedback during the intervention period. The participants wear the SenseWear Armband for 4 weeks and results of the intervention are discussed after the 4 week intervention period.
干预措施: SenseWear Armband (Device)
Step Group
This group receives feedback about the daily amount of steps by means of a pedometer.
干预措施: Pedometer (Device)
Display Group
Participants receive real time feedback on their energy expenditure, minutes of physical activity and step count by means of the SenseWear Display
干预措施: SenseWear display (Device)
Coaching Group
Participants receive real-time feedback on their energy expenditure, step count and minutes of physical activity by means of the SenseWear Display and weekly meet with a Personal Coach to discuss their progress
干预措施: Personal Coaching (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Physical Activity Level
时间窗: One year
To account for differences in body size and composition, the 24-hour energy requirement (kcal/day) is expressed as a multiple of the basal metabolic rate per 24 hours by using the PAL value (PAL = total energy expenditure/basal metabolic rate). A desirable PAL includes the regular practice of physical activity at work or in spare time with an intensity and duration that will reduce the risk of becoming overweight and developing a variety of non-communicable chronic diseases usually associated as co-morbidities with obesity. This corresponds to PAL values of 1.75 and higher.
