About this study

Official title: Effects of A Mi Band Step Challenge on Improving Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Body Composition in Overweight University Students

This is an eight-month research project using one group pretest-midst-posttest design. This study is based on self-efficacy and self-regulation of Social Cognitive Theory. The investigators will recruit 50 university students with a body mass index of 24 kg/m2 or above at one university campus. Participation is completely voluntary. After pretesting, a 12-week "Mi Band Step Challenge" will be launched immediately. Participants will be assessed with the validated instruments of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)-Taiwan short-form, Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ), self-efficacy and self-regulation questionnaires. Mi Band activity trackers will be used to monitor step counts. An ioi 353 body composition analyzer will be used to assess body composition. Data will be analyzed using generalized estimating equation (GEE).

The expected outcomes of this study include: (1) "Mi Band Step Challenge" will be developed based on the theory, which is expected to be effective. If this is true, the intervention can be packaged and applied at different types of colleges and universities with overweight students. (2) "Mi Band Step Challenge" has the potential to be used for the reference of the healthy weight - physical activity, which is embedded in the School Health Promotion Program executed by the Ministry of Education. (3) The result of this study can serve as an example for the promotion of evidence-based health care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Weight

    Weight was measured by ioi 353 body composition analyzer (Jawon Medical)

    Measured: Change from baseline weight at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  2. Waist circumference (WC)

    Waist circumference (nearest 0.1 cm) was measured in duplicate with a non-expandable tape at the midpoint between the lowest rib and the iliac crest. A third measurement was taken if the first two differed by 1 cm.

    Measured: Change from baseline waist circumference at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  3. Soft lean mass (SLM)

    Soft lean mass was measured by ioi 353 body composition analyzer (Jawon Medical)

    Measured: Change from baseline soft lean mass at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  4. Mass of body fat (MBF)

    Mass of body fat was measured by ioi 353 body composition analyzer (Jawon Medical)

    Measured: Change from baseline mass of body fat at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  5. Percent body fat (PBF)

    Percent body fat was measured by ioi 353 body composition analyzer (Jawon Medical)

    Measured: Change from baseline percent body fat at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  6. Body mass index (BMI)

    Body mass index was computed as average weight (kg)/average height (m2)

    Measured: Change from baseline body mass index at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  7. Waist to hip ratio (WHR)

    Waist to hip ratio was measured by ioi 353 body composition analyzer (Jawon Medical)

    Measured: Change from baseline waist to hip ratio at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Physical activity

    Physical activity was assessed by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (Taiwan) short-form (IPAQ-SF)

    Measured: Change from baseline physical activity at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  2. Sedentary behavior

    Sedentary behavior was assessed by Rosenberg's Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ)

    Measured: Change from baseline sedentary behavior at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  3. Daily steps

    Daily steps was assessed by Mi Band (Xiaomi Inc.)

    Measured: Change from baseline daily steps at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mi Band Step Challenge in people with Intervention Study and Physical Activity, run by China Medical University Hospital.

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 4 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 8 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Weight (time frame: Change from baseline weight at 6 weeks and 12 weeks). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Aug 2017.
