Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The secondary aim of this study is to examine how reductions in SST displace time into other active behaviors, i.e., light-intensity physical activity (LPA), moderate-to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and activity type (e.g., housework, walking, exercise behaviors). The investigators will use both device-based (activPAL3c) and self-report (ACT24) measures to understand whether SST displacement can increase active behaviors, particularly MVPA.

CORE
Participants will receive a "core" intervention which will include a basic version of the StandUPTV app and a Fitbit watch to use throughout the 16-week intervention.The Fitbit will provide device-based behavioral feedback through the StandUPTV self-monitoring component. SST feedback will be Self-monitoring will provide passive and objective feedback regarding SST behaviors and MVPA drawn from Fitbit and SCREENTIME sources. StandUPTV will also contain basic education including information on the risks of SST and tips for reducing SST. As part of this education, all participants will be provided a behavioral target of reducing their SST by 50% from their baseline. This target will be customized for the participant within StandUPTV based on a baseline week of observation.
Device-based feedback, self-monitoring, and education: CORE
Participants will receive a "core" intervention which will include a basic version of the StandUPTV app on an android tablet and a Fitbit to use throughout the 16-week intervention.t. SST feedback will be provided within the smartphone application. Self-monitoring will provide passive and objective feedback regarding SST behaviors. StandUPTV will also contain basic education including information on the risks of SST and tips for reducing SST. As part of this education, all participants will be provided a behavioral target of reducing their SST by 50% from their baseline.

CORE + text
CORE components + The TEXT component uses app-based prompts (i.e., prompts generated through StandUPTV app) that will provide simple adaptive content based upon length of most recent SST bout and time of day. These prompts will specifically target outcome expectations around SST and MVPA.

Context-based prompts: TEXT
The TEXT component uses app-based prompts (i.e., prompts generated through StandUPTV, not text message based) that will provide simple adaptive content. Content of the prompts will be educational (i.e., based on risks of sedentary screen time) and motivational (i.e., advice to reduce sedentary screen time).
CORE + Lockout
CORE components + Lockout component will enforce a 50% per week reduction in SST, based upon a baseline week of observation. If SST reaches the prescribed threshold, the investigators will use the limits from the StandUPTV app to restrict screen time through the end of the week (Monday-Sunday); at which point, 50% baseline allotment will be reinstated for an additional week. Participants will be provided with a planning tool for planning SST on a daily basis in order to reach their over 50% reduction goal.

Earn sedentary screen time through moderate-vigorous physical activity: EARN
Earn sedentary screen time through moderate-vigorous physical activity: EARN Participants assigned to the EARN component will earn SST by engaging in a \>5 min continuous bout of exercise (as defined by Fitbit minutes \>4 metabolic equivalents). They will earn SST on a 3:1 ratio up until they reach their baseline level of MVPA (5 mins of exercise earns 15 mins of SST). They will receive behavioral strategies to reduce screen time within the app (e.g., self-efficacy, barriers, exercising safely) and a planning tool for scheduling MVPA.
