Summary

The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of a motivational online intervention (MOI) using pedometers to increase physical activity in a sample of sedentary students. It will be compared three conditions: MOI+PEDOMETER condition (access to a MOI and the use of a pedometer of new generation); MOI condition (access to a MOI and the use of a blinded pedometer); and CONTROL condition (the use of a blinded pedometer).

Conditions

  • Sedentary

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motivational Online Intervention

The self-administered Motivational Online Intervention developed by the authors was based on the "Transtheoretical Model of Change". It attempts to facilitate the decisional balance, the increase of the self-efficacy, and the use of experiential and behavioral processes of change (e.g., consciousness raising, counterconditioning, reinforcement management, stimulus control). The main objective is to deliver information to increase the motivation to practice physical activity and to set individualized goals. It has a total length of 45 minutes, and it is delivered in a web platform at the beginning of the intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Pedometer

Wearing a pedometer of new generation that provides motivational messages from time to time to motivate the user to increase the physical activity, as well as information in the screen regarding all-day activity: steps taken, calories burned, distance travelled, floors climbed and active minutes.
