Trial summary

Low physical fitness may cause several life style related diseases e.g. cardiovascular disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes. It is important to develop reliable methods for measurement which can be used to follow the development of the physical shape both on an individual level and on at population level.

About this study

Official title: The Smart-phone as a Physical Fitness Monitor on a Population Level - Validity and Sensitivity and Improtance of Individual Motivation for Doing Interval Walking With the InterWalk Application

Low physical fitness may cause several life style related diseases e.g. cardiovascular disease, cancer and type 2 diabetes. It is important to develop reliable methods for measurement which can be used to follow the development of the physical shape both on an individual level and on at population level.

Associated with the development of new training method known as Interval Walking we developed an application for smartphones. The use of the application InterWalk was meant to increase physical activity in patients with type 2 diabetes. The application should both be able to, 1) be a personal trainer when doing interval walking, and 2) measure the individual physical fitness performed as a walking test. The latter function was developed to make the training more personal and individal adapted, so that the training was neither too hard or too easy.

It is necessary to test the walking test against a golden standard for measuring physical fitness and that the test in the application is able to measure and register changes in physical fitness.

Our hypothesis is that the individual test, in the InterWalk Application is reliable and able to register changes in physical fitness in patients with type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this project is investigate the reliability of a smartphone-based test of physical fitness, and to investigate whether the test is able to register changes in physical fitness during the project time (3 month). A secondary aim is to investigate whether individual support during the training period, affect the individual effort and time of interval walking per week.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Support groupOther

    The participants in the intervention group receives the intervention and support consisting of:

    1. Individual Goal Setting: 2-3 functional goals related to everyday life evaluated every 4th week.
    2. SMS send every Sunday with 5 possible responses. depending on the answer of the participant it will cause a telephone call from a project about motivation and barriers for interval walking.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary outcome is amount of time duing interval walking (in minuts) with InterWalk per week after 3 month

    Measured: up to 3 months after enrollment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Frequency of Interval walking with InterWalk

    Measured: 3 months after enrollment

  2. Quality of data with VO2-peek test in the InterWalk Application

    quantity of minuts with high and low intervals after 3 month

    Measured: 3 months after enrollment

  3. validation of InterWalk, VO2-peek test

    Measured: 3 months after enrollment

  4. VO2-peek test in the InterWalk Application

    Measured: 3 months after enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Support group in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by Laura Staun Valentiner at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02089477, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
