Trial Outcomes & Findings for Promoting Physical Activity in Rural Communities (NCT NCT03683173)

NCT ID: NCT03683173

Last Updated: 2024-01-08

Results Overview

* Participants will wear an accelerometer to measure physical activity. * The outcome measure will measure the weekly minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity. * Physical activity was measured using the Freedson Adult cutpoint categories from 1998. Each count was measured every 60 seconds/per minute. * Sedentary: 0-99 counts per minute * Light: 100-1951 counts per minute * Moderate: 1952-5724 counts per minute * Vigorous: 5725-9498 counts per minute * Very vigorous: 9499 and up counts per minute

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 18-month follow-up

Population: Only 56 participants (28 enrolled in the Multilevel Intervention Arm and 28 enrolled in the Control Arm) had valid data at baseline and at the 18-month follow-up.

* Participants will wear an accelerometer to measure physical activity. * The outcome measure will measure the weekly minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity. * Physical activity was measured using the Freedson Adult cutpoint categories from 1998. Each count was measured every 60 seconds/per minute. * Sedentary: 0-99 counts per minute * Light: 100-1951 counts per minute * Moderate: 1952-5724 counts per minute * Vigorous: 5725-9498 counts per minute * Very vigorous: 9499 and up counts per minute

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 18-month follow-up.

Population: The number of participants analyzed includes only those who completed the questionnaire at the indicated time point.

* Will use the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire to determine the number of participants who met the physical activity recommendations at baseline and at the 18-month follow-up. * The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire measures time spent in vigorous and moderate intensity physical activity in the domains of work, travel, and recreation. Participants will answer yes or no to their involvement in a given intensity (e.g., vigorous or moderate) in a given domain. If the participant answers 'yes' they will be asked on how many days do they partake in the activity, and for how many hours and/or minutes do they partake in the activity. A higher score equates to more physical activity. The range is from 0 minutes per week (no moderate physical activity in a week) to over 150 minutes per week (meeting recommendations) for moderate physical activity, and 0 minutes per week (no vigorous physical activity in a week) to over 75 minutes per week (meeting recommendations).
