The Smart City Active Mobile Phone Intervention (SCAMPI)

The Smart City Active Mobile Phone Intervention (SCAMPI) Study: a Randomized Controlled Trial to Promote Physical Activity Through Active Transportation

Physical inactivity is still a major public health problem. Active transportation i.e. walking or cycling for transport can contribute to greater total physical activity. The specific aim of this study is to evaluate if a 12-week mobile phone application can increase time spent in active transportation (cycling or walking) and in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in Swedish adults aged 20-65 years.

Inclusion Criteria:

• 20-65 years of age
• living in Stockholm or its suburbs
• being able to understand Swedish sufficiently well in order to understand the purpose of the study and the content of the intervention

Exclusion Criteria:

• having a disease prohibiting them from participation in moderate physical activity such as walking or cycling
