Feasibility and Acceptability of a Mobile Health Exercise Intervention for Inactive Adults: 3-Arm Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Objective monitoring of self-directed physical activity (PA) is a common approach used in both fitness and health settings to promote exercise behavior, but adherence has been poor. Newer mobile health (mHealth) technologies could be a cost-effective approach to broadening accessibility and providing support for PA behavior change; yet, the optimal method of delivery of such interventions is still unclear.

Objective

This study aimed to determine the feasibility and acceptability of an mHealth exercise intervention delivered in combination with objective monitoring in 3 ways: health education emails, asynchronous exercise videos, or synchronous videoconference exercise classes.

Methods

Physically inactive (<30 min/wk) adults (cisgender women aged 31.5, SD 11
