Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Sleep quality
Sleep quality is measured by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the score of which ranges from 0 to 21. If the score is less than 5, it indicates good sleeper, otherwise, it will be indicated as poor sleeper. Overall, higher score, poorer sleep quality.
12 weeks
Stress
Stress is measured by Perceived Stress Scale . Individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress.
12 weeks
Life satisfaction
Life satisfaction is assessed by Satisfaction With Life Scale. Participants indicate how much they agree or disagree with each of the 5 items using a 7-point scale that ranges from 7 strongly agree to 1 strongly disagree.

Study Arms (2)
Aerobic walking
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe participants in this arm were obligated to carry out one hour aerobic walking (goal setting walking) daily. The goal of aerobic walking: 1. at least 60 steps per minute; 2. continuously walking for 10 minutes.
No aerobic walking
PLACEBO COMPARATORThe participants in this arm were requested to maintain sedentary life, without joining other physical exercise programmes.
Interventions
Walking exercise is self-controlled and tracked by daily dairy. All of the participants are obligated to record the start and end time of walking every day. And pedometers will be used for tracking walking steps including heart rate and calories. We plan to use pedometer in our study, which was reported the most accurate pedometer and suitable for scientific research. For the ones who are in the control group, they have to keep sedentary lifestyle, and no regular walking exercise, and they are agree to be in the comparable members in our study.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- between 18-60 years old
- without physical or metal diseases
You may not qualify if:
- People who responded to join the study were screened either online or face-to-face by two principal questions: 1: Do you participate in any kind of regular exercise programs (weight-lifting, walking, running, swimming etc.)? 2. Are you involved in any physical or sport teams? If the respondent answered "Yes" to at least one of the questions, he/she would be excluded from the study because it could interfere with the effect of intervention.
