Summary

The proposed study will test the preliminary efficacy of a novel 12-week social cognitive theory-based intervention that will target reducing daily sitting time and increasing exercise participation among middle-aged working adults. This is a population highly susceptible to excessive sedentary time and low levels of exercise engagement. This two-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) will examine the preliminary efficacy of decreasing sedentary time in addition to increasing moderate-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) engagement, compared to a group which only receives MVPA promotion.
