About this study

The investigators are testing the feasibility and acceptability of a digital health platform using a randomized parallel wait-list control design for mothers with young children. The platform incorporates home based supportive group exercise sessions using video conferencing tools, shared online activity tracking and exercise mobile apps for individualized exercise routines will help mothers increase their physical activity levels and be successful at maintaining this increase.

The intervention arm consists of two main parts: home based video conferencing virtual exercise sessions and mobile exercise apps, which women use to tailor exercise routines to their own skill level and preferences. Both arms will receive an activity monitor that they collect continuous activity data throughout the study.

Treatment and study plan

Virtual exercise

Behavioral

Using videoconferencing, mothers assigned to intervention arm will participate in daily (weekdays) virtual exercise sessions for 6 weeks with other mothers.

Mobile apps

Behavioral

During virtual exercise sessions, mothers assigned to intervention arm will follow exercise routines using mobile exercise apps that are recommended by study staff.

Exercise resources and information

Behavioral

For all mothers, the investigators will provide standard information on the benefits of exercise and link to existing public health resources on how to start and stay active.

Primary outcomes

  1. Feasibility of recruitment

    Time frame: End of 8 week recruitment period

    Recruiting 75% of goal of 38 participants

  2. Acceptability of study procedures

    Time frame: End of 8 week intervention period

    We will consider at least 75% of participants being "satisfied" or "very satisfied" (using a Likert scale) in the overall study evaluation to indicate acceptability of the study materials.

  3. Change in minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity

    Time frame: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

    Active minutes (past 7 days) using self report through Active Australia Survey

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in exercise self efficacy

    Time frame: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

    Using Sallis Short Form 3 item self efficacy scale, the investigators will measure changes in exercise self efficacy

  2. Change in exercise enjoyment

    Time frame: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

    Using Sallis Short Form 3 item exercise enjoyment scale, the investigators will measure changes in exercise enjoyment

  3. Change in exercise social support

    Time frame: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

    Using Sallis Short Form 3 item exercise social support scale, the investigators will measure changes in exercise social support

  4. Change in global health

    Time frame: 0 weeks, 8 weeks

    Using NIH Patient Reported Outcome Measurement System (PROMIS) Global Health 7 item measure, the investigators will measure overall changes in global health

  5. Change in fatigue

    Time frame: 0 weeks, 8 weeks
