Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
When examining the studies are examined, it is seen that the majority of the studies conducted to reduce sedentary life focus on adults aged \> 30 years and a limited number of experimental studies based on the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) for university students.
The Transtheoretical Model argues that change is a process, and not a result, that the individual changes behavior by going through certain stages, and that in order to be successful in change, appropriate initiatives should be planned for the stage of change that the individual is in. The model recommends appropriate biopsychosocial and behavioral interventions by evaluating the individual's readiness for change with the stages of change questionnaire and the self-efficacy and determination levels with scales. It constantly monitors the stage of change that the individual has reached as a result of the initiatives, and offers initiatives to prevent returns and to make the behavior permanent.

Transtheoretical Model (TTM)-based "Let's Move" mobile software program
Transtheoretical Model (TTM)-based "Let's Move" mobile software program developed for the experimental group will be applied for 12 weeks. Students will be given smart wristbands. Smart wristband data (step numbers) will be integrated into the program. Through this program, students will fill in the pre-test, post-test and follow-up test (at 6 months) and the sedentary lifestyle TTM Sedentary Life Scales (Stages of Change questionnaire, Self-Efficacy and Decision Making scales) and daily step count values.The body mass index, fat and muscle ratios of the students will be evaluated by the researcher. They will be asked to add these values to the program.
'Let's Move' program
Students will complete data collection forms as part of the program. According to International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), those who are low in activity and inactive will be assigned to the appropriate intervention program based on their sedentary lifestyle stage.
Students will enter the module system prepared according to the five different stages of change \[not thinking (1), thinking (2), preparing (3), acting (4), continuing (5)\] of sedentary living.
There are 12 different initiatives for each phase/module of the program. Summary and reinforcing questions are asked at the end of each trial. If participants do not answer the questions, they cannot continue with the next week's initiative.
Participants' daily step counts with the smart wristband are recorded in the program.
Daily alerts/reinforcement messages related to that week's initiative will be sent during all phases.
control group
No intervention will be made in the control group. A smart bracelet will be given as a gift in order to follow the step counts of the students. Students will fill in pre-test, post-test and follow-up test (at 6 months) and sedentary lifestyle TTM Sedentary Life Scales (Stages of Change questionnaire, Self-Efficacy and Decision Making scales) and daily step count values via online forms. The body mass index, fat and muscle ratios of the students will be evaluated by the researcher. These values will be recorded.
no intervention
No intervention will be applied to the control group.
