Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this prospective randomized controlled trial is to explore the role of a motion sensor with accompany web application on step counts, energy balance, and metabolic markers in nurses. Additionally, eating behaviours, behavioural regulation in exercise, and mood states that may impact these parameters will also be examined.
