Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Physical Activity Level
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.

Control group
PLACEBO COMPARATORThis 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.
Step Group
EXPERIMENTALThis group receives feedback about the daily amount of steps by means of a pedometer.
Display Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants receive real time feedback on their energy expenditure, minutes of physical activity and step count by means of the SenseWear Display
Coaching Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants 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
Interventions
Participants use the self-monitoring device (display) to aid behavior change via real-time lifestyle feedback targeting physical activity. The display has a versatile design that allows it to be clipped to a shirt, bag or belt loop. The Display can help participants stay in sync with their daily goals.
Participants receive a pedometer to determine their daily amount of steps. Every day they write down their amount of steps in a step diary.
Participants wear the SenseWear Armband for 4 weeks
A weekly meeting with a Personal Coach to evaluate the physical activity patterns in daily life
