Official title:
WhatsApp Physical Activity Intervention to Promote Walking Among Female University Students in Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
This study is a parallel group randomized controlled trial among female university students designed to test the effect of a physical activity intervention on daily walking. Both groups will receive messages 2-3 times per week via WhatsApp. Intervention group will receive orientation and wear a pedometer for the study period. The follow-up duration is 3 months.
Background: Sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for chronic diseases. The majority of
Saudi females do not meet a recommended level of physical activity.
Study Objective: To test the effect of a physical activity intervention on daily walking.
Study Design: Parallel group randomized controlled design among female university students.
Methods: Students will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control arm.
WhatsApp groups (2 per arm) will be formed within each study arm for communications. The
intervention participants will receive a brief (15-minute) orientation on diet, exercise, and
benefits of keeping a healthy weight; each will be instructed to wear a pedometer every day
for 12-weeks with a daily step goal of 8,000. They will receive 2-3 health-promotional
(walking and diet) messages per week via WhatsApp; group interaction is optional. The control
group participants will receive 2-3 non-health related messages per week. Average daily steps
will be assessed in all participants at baseline and 3-month follow-up using a 7-day
pedometer measurement.
