Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
An active sample of full-time university students attending Western University will be recruited. Upon obtaining consent, demographics will be taken. Baseline sedentary behavior levels will be confirmed objectively through inclinometer wear for 1-week. Upon confirmation of sufficient sedentary/non-sedentary time, participants will complete questionnaires assessing past-week: SWB, SB, physical activity, depression, and anxiety questionnaires. Participants will also be randomized to either a behavioral counseling intervention group, or a no-contact control group. Participants will then continue wearing the inclinometer for 1 week. After the intervention week, participants will complete the questionnaires again, after which all participants will be told to continue daily behavior, and wear the inclinometer for another week. Upon completion of this follow-up week, participants will complete questionnaires again.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
The intervention group will receive a pedometer and HAPA behavioural counseling with the aim of limiting their daily step count to \<5000 steps per day, over a one week period. Counseling strategies will be grounded in the HAPA model - specifically, creating an action plan and coping strategies for maximizing their daily sedentary behaviour and minimizing steps taken. Strategies may include: driving to locations more often, refraining from physical activity as much as possible, and/or completing tasks in sedentary postures.
HAPA behavioural counseling
Behavioural counseling grounded in the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA; i.e., action planning and coping planning) to maximize sedentary behaviour and minimize steps taken.
Control Group
The control group will not receive any behavioural intervention or instruction.
No interventions assigned to this group
