At 1-month follow-up, 93 participants were categorized as matched and 195 as mismatched. They preferred text mode (493/803, 61.4%) over combined (216/803, 26.9%) and video modes (94/803, 11.7%). After the intervention, 20% (26/132) of matched-group participants and 34% (96/282) in the mismatched group changed their delivery mode preference. Time effects were significant for all physical activity outcomes (total physical activity: F2,801 = 5.07, P = .009; number of activity sessions: F2,801 = 7.52, P < .001; walking: F2,801 = 8.32, P < .001; moderate physical activity: F2,801 = 9.53, P < .001; and vigorous physical activity: F2,801 = 6.04, P = .002), indicating that physical activity increased over time for both matched and mismatched groups. Matched-group participants improved physical activity outcomes slightly more than those in the mismatched group, but interaction effects were not significant. Physical activity advice acceptability (content scale: t368 = .10, P = .92; layout scale: t368 = 1.53, P = .12) and website usability (layout scale: t426 = .05, P = .96; ease of use scale: t426 = .21, P = .83) were generally high and did not differ between the matched and mismatched groups. The only significant difference (t621 = 2.16, P = .03) was in relation to total time spent on the website: the mismatched group spent significantly more time on the website (14.4 minutes) than the matched group (12.1 minutes). Conclusion: Participants’ preference regarding delivery mode may not significantly influence intervention outcomes. Consequently, allowing participants to choose their preferred delivery mode may not increase effectiveness of Web-based interventions.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:23:17 AEST ]]> Effectiveness of a Web 2.0 intervention to increase physical activity in real-world settings: randomized ecological trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30921 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:06:42 AEST ]]> What is the impact of obtaining medical clearance to participate in a randomised controlled trial examining a physical activity intervention on the socio-demographic and risk factor profiles of included participants? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25903 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:03:32 AEST ]]> Associations between quality of life and duration and frequency of physical activity and sedentary behaviour: baseline findings from the WALK 2.0 randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29917 Tue 02 Apr 2019 10:07:43 AEDT ]]> Acceptability, usefulness, and satisfaction with a web-based video-tailored physical activity intervention: The TaylorActive randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44808 Thu 27 Oct 2022 12:43:51 AEDT ]]> Impact of a web-based personally tailored physical activity intervention on depression, anxiety, stress and quality of life: Secondary outcomes from a randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51212 80%) reported normal levels of depression, anxiety or stress. Relative to baseline levels, significant reductions of depression, anxiety, stress and the SF12 mental health component were observed in the pooled intervention group at 3 and 9 months. Relative to the control group, significant reductions were observed in the pooled intervention group for depression and stress (3-months only) and anxiety (3- and 9-months), but not quality of life. Conclusion: A web-based physical activity intervention can result in positive mental health outcomes, even in the absence of device-measured physical activity improvements. However, these findings need to be confirmed in future studies.]]> Thu 24 Aug 2023 15:01:49 AEST ]]> UWALK: the development of a multi-strategy, community-wide physical activity program https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31357 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:44:35 AEDT ]]> Effectiveness of a web- and mobile phone-based intervention to promote physical activity and healthy eating in middle-aged males: randomized controlled trial of the manup study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20456 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:57 AEDT ]]> Examining an Australian physical activity and nutrition intervention using RE-AIM https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23958 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:07 AEDT ]]> Every step counts: understanding the success of implementing the 10,000 steps project https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49682 Mon 29 May 2023 10:12:45 AEST ]]> Successes and Challenges of an IT-based health behaviour change program to increase physical activity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49681 Mon 29 May 2023 10:05:58 AEST ]]> The effectiveness of a web 2.0 physical activity intervention in older adults - a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32775 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:47:46 AEST ]]> Validity and responsiveness to change of the Active Australia Survey according to gender, age, BMI, education, and physical activity level and awareness https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35696 Fri 25 Oct 2019 12:59:19 AEDT ]]>
