About this study

The purpose of this study is to test feasibility and acceptability of an online platform that uses mobile apps and videoconferencing tools to increase activity levels in mothers with young children.

Read the detailed description

The investigators are testing the feasibility and acceptability of a digital health platform using a randomized parallel wait-list control design for mothers with young children. The platform incorporates home based supportive group exercise sessions using video conferencing tools, shared online activity tracking and exercise mobile apps for individualized exercise routines will help mothers increase their physical activity levels and be successful at maintaining this increase.

The intervention arm consists of two main parts: home based video conferencing virtual exercise sessions and mobile exercise apps, which women use to tailor exercise routines to their own skill level and preferences. Both arms will receive an activity monitor that they collect continuous activity data throughout the study.

What participants receive

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

  • Virtual exerciseBehavioural

    Using videoconferencing, mothers assigned to intervention arm will participate in daily (weekdays) virtual exercise sessions for 6 weeks with other mothers.

  • Mobile appsBehavioural

    During virtual exercise sessions, mothers assigned to intervention arm will follow exercise routines using mobile exercise apps that are recommended by study staff.

  • Exercise resources and informationBehavioural

    For all mothers, the investigators will provide standard information on the benefits of exercise and link to existing public health resources on how to start and stay active.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Virtual exercise and mobile appsExperimentalParticipants randomized to the intervention arm will join a virtual group convenient for them. They will plan and participate in 8 weeks (every week day) of virtual exercise sessions. Sessions will all be under 30 minutes and include a brief check in amongst participants. The investigators will provide links to information on physical activity and links to online resources for being active.
Receives: Behavioral: Virtual exercise; Behavioral: Mobile apps; Behavioral: Exercise resources and information
Exercise resources and informationActive comparatorThe investigators will provide links to information on physical activity and links to online resources for being active. Women will be invited to join the exercise groups at the end of the 8 weeks.
Receives: Behavioral: Exercise resources and information

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of recruitment

    Recruiting 75% of goal of 38 participants

    Measured: End of 8 week recruitment period

  2. Acceptability of study procedures

    We will consider at least 75% of participants being "satisfied" or "very satisfied" (using a Likert scale) in the overall study evaluation to indicate acceptability of the study materials.

    Measured: End of 8 week intervention period

  3. Change in minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity

    Active minutes (past 7 days) using self report through Active Australia Survey

    Measured: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in exercise self efficacy

    Using Sallis Short Form 3 item self efficacy scale, the investigators will measure changes in exercise self efficacy

    Measured: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

  2. Change in exercise enjoyment

    Using Sallis Short Form 3 item exercise enjoyment scale, the investigators will measure changes in exercise enjoyment

    Measured: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

  3. Change in exercise social support

    Using Sallis Short Form 3 item exercise social support scale, the investigators will measure changes in exercise social support

    Measured: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

  4. Change in global health

    Using NIH Patient Reported Outcome Measurement System (PROMIS) Global Health 7 item measure, the investigators will measure overall changes in global health

    Measured: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

  5. Change in fatigue

    Using NIH Patient Reported Outcome Measurement System (PROMIS) Global Health 4 item measure, the investigators will measure overall changes in fatigue

    Measured: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

  6. Change in weight

    Difference in pounds gained or lost in lbs measured by self report via survey

    Measured: 0 weeks, 8 weeks
