The Fit With Us Study

Summary

The purpose of this 32-week study is to use an innovative experimental design known as SMART (Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial), which will allow us to determine the best way to sequence the delivery of teleexercise (referred to as an adaptive intervention), combined with predictive analytics on participant adherence in a stepped program of physical activity interventions. All 257 participants will have access to a library of recorded video exercise content, and a weekly wellness article. Some participants will receive health coaching calls (1st randomization). Analytic data will be used to determine which participants are responding or not responding to the intervention. Participants not responding after 4 weeks will receive either live one-on-one or group exercise training (2nd randomization). After 8 weeks, the participant will receive only pre-recorded exercise content and articles for a 24-week maintenance phase (weeks 9-32). The study outcomes are: The effectiveness of the adaptive interventions; Exploring mediating and moderating variables; Sensitivity analysis of the predictive analytics.
