A Randomised Controlled Trial of a Pedometer Based Phased Intervention to Encourage Physical Activity in Schools: A Feasibility Study.
A school based pedometer competition among Year 9 pupils (12 - 14 years old) to promote physical activity (PA).
The intervention is separated into three main phases.
Phase One: A 10-week school competition using pedometers and a range of non-financial incentives e.g. t-shirts, pens, badges etc. (April - June 2015).
Phase Two: End of school competition but participants will still keep the pedometers. We will set them various challenges over the summer to keep active (July - Oct 2015).
Phase Three: Removal of all extrinsically motivation factors. Focus on PA maintenance.
