Use and appreciation of combined computer- and mobile-based physical activity interventions within adults aged 50 years and older: Randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate whether six combined computer- and mobile-based physical activity interventions differ regarding use, attrition, usability and appreciation among adults aged 50 years and older.

Methods

The interventions were studied in a randomized controlled trial. Participants were allocated to the computer-based Active Plus or I Move program including a mobile-based activity tracker, or ecological momentary intervention (EMI), or chatbot, or to a waiting list control group. Use and attrition were investigated via log data gathered within the intervention software. Appreciation was assessed via online evaluation questionnaires. ANOVAs and Chi-squares were performed to test for intervention differences on use, attrition and appreciation (p ≤ .05).
