Adoption, acceptability and sustained use of digital interventions to promote physical activity among inactive adults: a mixed-method study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite the positive effects of physical activity (PA) to prevent lifestyle diseases and improve health and well-being, only one-third of Norwegian adults meet the minimum recommendations on PA. Digital interventions to promote PA in inactive adults may improve health and well-being by being available, personalized and adequate. Knowledge on users' adoption, acceptability and sustainability of digital interventions to promote PA is still limited.

Objective

To investigate the adoption, acceptability and sustained use of three digital interventions for promoting PA among inactive adults.

Design

A randomized control trial (ONWARDS) with 183 participants assigned to 3 groups and followed up for 18 months. All participants received a wearable activity tracker
