NCT04524572

Brief Summary

The purpose of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to explore the role of a motion sensor with accompany web application on step counts, energy balance, and metabolic markers in nurses. Additionally, eating behaviours, behavioural regulation in exercise, and mood states that may impact these parameters will also be examined.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Step counts

    All participants will be asked to wear a Tractivity® motion sensor device on their ankle for to assess their daily step count and physical activity energy expenditure

    6 weeks during observation and 6 weeks during intervention

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Body Mass (kg)

    Screening (week 1), Observation (weeks 2-5), during the intervention (weeks 6-9), post study at week 26 and week 52

  • Waist Circumference

    Screening (week 1), Observation (weeks 2-5), during the intervention (weeks 6-9), post study at week 26 and week 52

  • Fat mass

    Screening (week 1), Observation (weeks 2-5), during the intervention (weeks 6-9), post study at week 26 and week 52

Study Arms (3)

Individual Challenge

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will be able to log onto their Tractivity® Online web account at any time during the 4-week intervention phase to track their daily step counts and physical activity expenditure

Behavioral: Motion sensor

friend challenge

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will be able to log onto their Tractivity® Online web account at any time during the 4-week intervention phase to track their daily step counts and physical activity expenditure in comparison to the group average of all participants randomized to the friend challenge.

Behavioral: Motion sensor

Team challenge

EXPERIMENTAL

participants will be able to log onto their Tractivity® Online web account at any time during the 4-week intervention phase to track their teams' daily step counts and physical activity expenditure in comparison to the group average of other teams.
