What participants receive

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

  • MotivationBehavioural

    Also called Mindfulness

    8 weeks of either action planning or mindfulness in addition to a treatment as usual which is a physical activity program of 120 minutes per week.

Study groups in NCT03785483
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MotivationExperimentalUsing implementation intention techniques such as action planning. Every week, participants state when, where, and what kind of prescribed exercises they will do.
Receives: Behavioral: Motivation
MindfulnessActive comparator10 minutes of audio recordings daily. Recordings contain: awareness of the breath, acceptation of thoughts and emotions, awareness of postures, awareness during stretching, awareness of a single movement (moving legs up while standing).

Treatment as usualNo interventionPhysical activity prescribe 120 minutes per week.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in physical activity

    Accelerometer on a daily basis for 7 days

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in self-reported anxiety and depression (HADS)

    Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (2 subscales): anxiety (7 items) and depression (7 items) rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 3. Total score for each subscale is the sum of each subscale's items. Higher scores indicate higher risks of anxiety and depression.

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up.

  2. Change in self-reported mindfulness skills (FFMQ)

    Five-Facets Mindfulness Questionnaire (5 subscales): observing, describing, non-judging, non-reacting, acting with awareness. Each subscale is composed of 3 items rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 5. Total score for each subscale is the sum of each subscale's items. Total mindfulness score is the sum of all subscales' scores. Higher scores indicate higher mindfulness skills.

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up.

  3. Change in self-reported motivational regulation toward exercise (BREQ)

    Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (6 subscales): amotivation, external regulation, introjected regulation, integrated regulation, identified regulation, intrinsic regulation. Each subscale is composed of 3 items rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 7. Total score for each subscale is the mean of each subscale's items. Higher scores indicate higher motivational regulation.

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up.

  4. Change in self-reported beliefs toward physical activity (TPB).

    Theory of Planned Behavior constructs (4 concepts): attitudes (5 items), subjective norm (4 items), perceived behavioral control (2 items), intentions (3 items). All items are rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 7. Total score for each subscale is the mean of each subscale's items. Higher scores indicate higher beliefs toward physical activity/

    Measured: From baseline to 3 months follow-up. Assessments at baseline, post-intervention (8 weeks), and 3 months follow-up.
