Study Arms (2)
TECH (Technology)
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants will receive a theory-based physical activity program. They will enroll in the study as part of a self-selected group of 3-8 individuals. They will be provided with a personal step goal and Fitbit Alta HR for self-monitoring physical activity. They will also have access to a study website that will be accessible across conventional and mobile platforms. They will be asked to visit the website each week to receive behavior change information and guidance.
TECH+COMP (Technology + Competition)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive the same intervention components as the TECH goup, as well as a study designed team competition.
Interventions
Participants will receive a theory-based physical activity program. They will enroll in the study as part of a self-selected group of 3-8 individuals. They will be provided with a personal step goal and Fitbit Alta HR for self-monitoring physical activity. They will also have access to a study website that will be accessible across conventional and mobile platforms. They will be asked to visit the website each week to receive behavior change information and guidance. Device: Fitbit Alta HR
Participants will receive the same intervention components as the TECH group, as well as a team competition. The competition will be based on the following two aspects: total daily steps accumulated relative to group size and total number of points retained for achieving weekly physical activity challenges. Device: Fitbit Alta HR
