Interventions

OTHER

STARFISH

The intervention group will take part in a four month physical activity intervention using the STARFISH app with the aim of increasing physical activity by 3000 steps per day. Participants will be provided with a smartphone for the intervention. Participants will work in groups of four but each participant will have their own individualised step count target, based on their baseline step count. If the participant reaches their step count target on at least five days of the week, then their target will be increased by 5% for the following week, up to a maximum increase of 3000 steps above baseline. Where a participant fails to reach their step count target, it remains unchanged for the following week.
