Brief Summary

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, university students have faced many challenges and without any preparation. Studies conducted during the first lockdown show an increase in unhealthy lifestyles. This study will be proposed to students from University of Nimes an 8-week physical activity program. Two groups will be constituted: the first will benefit from of innovative physical activity program on the base of the co-construction with users (Experimental Group), another that will not benefit from any intervention (Control Group). Investigators plan to include approximately 90 university students, 45 in each group. The main goal of the study is to propose innovative program to promote PA (Physical Activity) and reduce ST (Sedentary Time) of young adults aged over 18 from university of Nîmes. The levels of PA and ST of the experimental group will be compared to a control group with the realization of pre and post intervention measures.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change in level of physical activity (PA)

  Physical activity, is measured with tri-axis accelerometers of the brand Actigraph model GT3X (Actilife, Pensacola, FL, USA). Data is collected every 10 seconds during 5 consecutive whole days. It is the most feasible and precise method for the purpose.

  Baseline and post-intervention (8-week)

• Sedentary Time (ST)

  Sedentary Time (ST), is measured with tri-axis accelerometers of the brand Actigraph model GT3X (Actilife, Pensacola, FL, USA). Data is collected every 10 seconds during 5 consecutive whole days. It is the most feasible and precise method for the purpose.

  Baseline and post-intervention (8-week)

  Baseline and post-intervention (8-week)

• Changes in motivation

  Baseline and post-intervention (8-week)

Study Arms (2)

University-based 8-weeks intervention to promote Physical Activity (PA)

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental group: 8-weeks program of Physical Activity constructed by users during a design-based innovative workshops before the beginning of the interventions .

Behavioral: University-based intervention to promote PA and reduce ST

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Control group: No intervention, only two measurement times

Interventions

University-based intervention to promote PA and reduce ST BEHAVIORAL

This intervention was realized with all college student and involved: 1. Design-based innovative workshops during the first week; 2. 8-weeks program of Physical Activity constructed by users 3. Information session focusing on the promotion of active behaviors 4. Feedback provided to the users with an individualized report

Model Details: During the, baseline assessments were carried out in two groups (Experimental group, control group): measures of PA, ST, anthropometric data, sleep, physical condition and psychological variables (motivation, body appreciation, perceived control, well-being, …) These assessments were performed in October 2021 (First Time - T1) and December 2021 (Second time - T2). During the first academic semester, a university-based intervention to increase PA and reduce ST was realised in Experimental group.
