Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Treatment group

WeChat groups will be set up, and once a week on Monday, articles on physical exercise and once a week on Wednesday, 3-minute films about health education will be shared. For the duration of the 3-month intervention period, the following technologies will be used to deliver the GAT-pap: (1) Short Messaging Service (SMS) text (batch messaging); (2) WeChat (e.g., physical activity guidelines, group chats); and (3) monthly face-to-face interviews (behaviour change promotion, risk factor management). Although not essential, participants will be urged to register their daily exercise in the group chat. In order to determine if they are accomplishing their goals and what objectives they should be pursuing, the researchers will develop customised training regimens for each participant.

BEHAVIORAL

Contral group

One or two times each week, participants in the control group will get general lifestyle advice through SMS. They will not participate in the intervention's fitness routines, online classes, group chats, or films with health educators. Individual workout regimens, goals, or comments are not given by researchers. Participants in the control group's complaints or questions will always be answered with basic health information and suggestions. Researchers won't ask for individual advice or comments from other professionals.
