Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research is to test programs to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior using motivational messages over a cell phone.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We want to learn if conceptually-based behavioral interventions for promoting increased physical activity and decreased sedentary behavior via state-of-the-art mobile phones will be efficacious at improving these behaviors relative to commercially available Android applications as a control. If efficacious, these types of intervention programs could be disseminated to a wide variety of sedentary and underactive adults at a relatively low cost. This could have a potentially significant impact on promoting improved health such as reduced obesity, a key problem within the U.S.
