Brief Summary

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

This study will be an 8-week randomized controlled trial examining the effects of a YouTube-delivered aerobic and muscle strengthening physical activity intervention on university students' physical activity, fitness, sleep quality, and psychosocial health outcomes. Participants will be randomized into 1 of 2 groups: (1) intervention group (receive twice-weekly YouTube videos \[1 aerobic workout video; 1 muscle-strengthening workout video\] for 8 weeks); or (2) control group (receive twice-weekly YouTube videos with general health information \[no physical activity-related information or workouts\] for 8 weeks). Baseline (0 weeks), mid-point (4 weeks), and post-test (8 weeks) testing will take place and the following outcome measures will be assessed at these time points: participants' free-living (7-day) objectively-measured physical activity and sleep quality data will be collected; anthropometric measures (height, weight, percent body fat); cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness; and psychosocial assessments (perceived physical activity barriers and social support).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Physical activity intervention

Will receive twice-weekly, YouTube-delivered aerobic and muscle-strengthening physical activity videos for 8 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

YouTube-delivered aerobic and muscle-strengthening physical activity intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in the intervention group will receive two YouTube-delivered videos each week, for 8 weeks. In detail, on Monday, participants will receive an aerobic-based physical activity video with information and a workout to complete and on Thursdays, the participants will receive a video with muscle-strengthening physical activity information and a workout to complete.

General health education control

Will receive twice-weekly, YouTube-delivered videos with general health education information for 8 weeks.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* 18-35 years of age; able to participate in aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercise; healthy (i.e., no diseases or clinical/mental health conditions which will prevent physical activity participation); does not meet minimum physical activity guidelines criteria for aerobic (≥ 150 minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity) and muscle-strengthening (≥ 2 days per week; 8-10 exercises for all major muscle groups) physical activity at time of enrollment; willing to be randomized to the intervention or control group.

Exclusion Criteria

* less than 18 years old or greater than 35 years old; physical or mental health contradictions which do not allow participants to participate in physical activity; exceed minimum aerobic or muscle-strengthening physical activity guideline recommendations; unwilling to be randomized to either intervention or control group.
