Primary |
Change from baseline in participants' weekly physical activity participation at 3 months. |
Quantified as minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity measured with accelerometry. Participants will wear an accelerometer for a minimum of 10 hours per day for 7 consecutive days. Changes in this measure will be examined (3 months to baseline, 3 months to 6 weeks, 6 weeks to baseline). |
Baseline, 6 weeks, and 3 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in Body Mass Index from baseline to 3 months. |
Standardized protocols for measuring weight in kilograms (kg) and height in centimeters (cm) will be performed as per the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology guidelines. Body Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated as kg/m^2. Body Mass Index is an indicator of body composition which is associated with physical activity. Changes in BMI will be examined (3 months to baseline). |
Baseline and 3 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in waist circumference from baseline to 3 months. |
Standardized protocols for measuring waist circumference in centimeters (cm) will be performed as per the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology guidelines. Waist circumference is an indicator of body composition which is associated with physical activity. Changes in waist circumference will be examined (3 months to baseline). |
Baseline, 3 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in self-reported physical activity from baseline to 3 months. |
Measured from questionnaire using Godin's personal self report leisure time measurement tool, also known as the Leisure Score Index (LSI). The Leisure Score Index contains three questions, which assess the frequency of mild, moderate, and strenuous activity performed for at least 15 minutes during free time in a typical week. Changes in these measures will be examined (3 months to baseline, 3 months to 6 weeks, 6 weeks to baseline). |
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months. |
|
Secondary |
Change in quality of life from baseline to 3 months measured using the Short Form 12 questionnaire. |
The online questionnaire will asses participants' quality of life using the short form 12 questionnaire. Changes in this measures will be examined (3 months to baseline, 3 months to 6 weeks, 6 weeks to baseline). |
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in life satisfaction from baseline to 3 months measured using Diener's satisfaction with life scale in a questionnaire. |
The online questionnaire will asses participants' life satisfaction using Diener's satisfaction with life scale. Changes in this measure will be examined (3 months to baseline, 3 months to 6 weeks, 6 weeks to baseline). |
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in mood from baseline to 3 months measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in a questionnaire. |
The online questionnaire will asses participants' mood using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. Changes in this measure will be examined (3 months to baseline, 3 months to 6 weeks, 6 weeks to baseline). |
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in physical activity beliefs, attitudes, barriers, and motivation from baseline to 3 months. |
Included in questionnaire - Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour questionnaire will be applied to measure participants' beliefs, attitudes, barriers, and motivation related to physical activity. Changes in these measures will be examined (3 months to baseline, 3 months to 6 weeks, 6 weeks to baseline). |
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in physical activity behaviour regulation from baseline to 3 months. |
Included in questionnaire - 5 items adapted from Umstattd's scale measuring physical activity self-regulation strategies in older adults. Changes in this measure will be examined (3 months to baseline, 3 months to 6 weeks, 6 weeks to baseline). |
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in physical activity habits from baseline to 3 months. |
Included in questionnaire - 12 Self Report Habit Index items from the measure developed by Verplanken and Orbell and adapted to physical activity by Chatzisarantis and Hagger. Changes in this measure will be examined (3 months to baseline, 3 months to 6 weeks, 6 weeks to baseline). |
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months |
|
Secondary |
Change in physical activity identity from baseline to 3 months. |
Included in questionnaire - Anderson and Cychosz Exercise Identity Scale is used to measure participants' identification as someone who participates in physical activity. Changes in this measure will be examined (3 months to baseline, 3 months to 6 weeks, 6 weeks to baseline). |
Baseline, 6 weeks, 3 months |
