1 "Increasing Physical Activity in Canadian Adults Who Have Been Affected by COVID-19 Social Distancing Restrictions: A Feasibility Trial of an Online Intervention"

Internet-based health promotion programs have the potential to reach more individuals than in person interventions, without overtaxing healthcare resources. Having a high quality, user-centered web-based program can help maximize user engagement and adherence. Thus, the primary objective of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility, time, cost, and acceptability of a web-based physical activity behavior change program with Canadian Adults who have had to start practising/following the social distancing guidelines due to the COVID-19 situation. We will also be examining changes other behavioral indicators related to PA as a secondary outcome measure.

NCT04400305 Physical Activity, Healthy Promotion Behavioral: Digital Health Online Platform

Primary Outcomes

Description: For the full scale RCT, we are looking for a 1 day per week or 30 min MVPA change which equates to an approximate effect size of d = .35. This equates to roughly 65 per group (130 for a two group trial). If we recruit for 2 years in the large trial (assuming a six month time period for each person in the intervention) we need to be recruiting at least 6 per month.

Measure: Recruitment rate (monthly)

Time: 4 months

Description: Number of participants who complete both baseline and end of study (6 week) measures. A 80-100% retention rate is indicative of a strong trial (Jackson & Waters, 2005).

Measure: Participant retention

Time: 6 weeks

Description: For satisfaction ratings, mean and standard deviations will be calculated for the quantitative satisfaction and evaluation questionnaire. Given that scores of 1 (ex. not helpful, did not use the tools) and 2 (ex. Somewhat helpful, used a little bit of the tools) indicated levels of dissatisfaction, and 3 (ex. Quite helpful, used a bit of the tools) and 4 (ex. Extremely helpful, used a lot of the tools) indicated some sort of satisfaction, a mean score of ≥ 2.5 will be deemed acceptable for recommendation for a full RCT.

Measure: Participant intervention satisfaction/evaluation

Time: 6 Weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Measured from questionnaire using Godin's personal self report leisure time measurement tool, also known as the Leisure Score Index (LSI). The Leisure Score Index contains three questions, which assess the frequency of mild, moderate, and strenuous activity performed for at least 10 minutes during free time in a typical week. Changes in these measures will be examined

Measure: Change in self-reported physical activity from baseline to 6 weeks

Time: 6 Weeks

Description: Included in questionnaire - Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour questionnaire will be applied to measure participants' beliefs, attitudes, barriers, and motivation related to physical activity.

Measure: Change in physical activity beliefs, attitudes, barriers, and motivation from baseline to 6 weeks.

Time: Baseline - 6 weeks

Description: Included in questionnaire - 5 items adapted from Umstattd's scale measuring physical activity self-regulation strategies. Changes in this measure will be examined

Measure: Change in physical activity behaviour regulation from baseline to 6 weeks.

Time: Baseline - 6 weeks

Description: Included in questionnaire - 12 Self Report Habit Index items from the measure developed by Verplanken and Orbell and adapted to physical activity by Chatzisarantis and Hagger. Changes in this measure will be examined

Measure: Change in physical activity habits from baseline to 6 weeks

Time: Baseline - 6 weeks

Description: Included in questionnaire - Anderson and Cychosz Exercise Identity Scale is used to measure participants' identification as someone who participates in physical activity.

Measure: Change in physical activity identity from baseline to 6 weeks

Time: Baseline - 6 weeks

Description: The online questionnaire will asses participants' quality of life using the short form 12 questionnaire

Measure: Change in quality of life measured using the Short Form 12 questionnaire

Time: Baseline - 6 weeks
