Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The proposed study is a pilot randomized controlled trial that will randomize participants to either 1) Immediate intervention, which consists of a 12-week physical activity program or 2) Delayed Intervention, which participants will be assigned to a 6-week abridged version of the program at the end of 12 weeks. Both versions of the physical activity program will provide participants a platform to report their exercise weekly, behavioral lessons, and receive personalized feedback on activity levels. The primary endpoint is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of the 12-week program by evaluating recruitment and retention rates, completion of phone calls, adherence to physical activity self-monitoring, and program satisfaction at 12-weeks. Preliminary efficacy will be assessed by changes in moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), steps/day, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, self-regulation, and supportive accountability at the end of 12-weeks.
