Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In Visit 1 (Day 0) willing participants will then undergo a familiarisation of protocol components, and they will be provided with the SenseWear armband to be worn, constantly, over a 42-day period (except during water-based activities such as showering and swimming). The device does not include a display and so participants are blinded to the measurement. Participants will be instructed to continue with their normal lifestyles and not make any changes. On or around day 43, participants will be asked to return the device (Visit 2).
During visit 1 and visit 2 participants will be measured and weighed using a stadiometer and floor scale. Throughout the trial, weekly reminder emails will be distributed by the research team to all participants reminding them of the study requirements and providing them with an additional opportunity to raise concerns. Due to the data storage capacity of the devices, new monitors will be distributed and used monitors returned remotely via post at weeks 2 and 4.
Additionally, during this period of objective PA measurement, participants will be invited to note the start and end time of any 'structured exercise' - defined as any PA that is "planned, structured, repetitive and aimed at improving or maintaining physical fitness (Caspersen, Powell and Christenson 1985 cited by Simmich, Deacon and Russell 2019)". Participants will also be required to note time spent sleeping. Data from this self-report component of the trial will be used to demarcate bouts of purposeful, structured exercise as well as total self-reported waking time.
