The purpose of this study is to test feasibility and acceptability of an online platform that uses mobile apps and videoconferencing tools to increase activity levels in mothers with young children.
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.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virtual exercise and mobile apps | Experimental | Participants randomized to the intervention arm will join a virtual group convenient for them. They will plan and participate in 8 weeks (every week day) of virtual exercise sessions. Sessions will all be under 30 minutes and include a brief check in amongst participants. The investigators will provide links to information on physical activity and links to online resources for being active. |
|
| Exercise resources and information | Active Comparator | The investigators will provide links to information on physical activity and links to online resources for being active. Women will be invited to join the exercise groups at the end of the 8 weeks. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virtual exercise | Behavioral | Using videoconferencing, mothers assigned to intervention arm will participate in daily (weekdays) virtual exercise sessions for 6 weeks with other mothers. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Feasibility of recruitment | Recruiting 75% of goal of 38 participants | End of 8 week recruitment period |
| Acceptability of study procedures | 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. | End of 8 week intervention period |
| Change in minutes per week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity | Active minutes (past 7 days) using self report through Active Australia Survey | 0 weeks, 8 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in exercise self efficacy | Using Sallis Short Form 3 item self efficacy scale, the investigators will measure changes in exercise self efficacy | 0 weeks, 8 weeks |
| Change in exercise enjoyment |
