Physical Activity Clinical Trial
Official title:
An Motivational Text Messaging Walking Program for Older African Americans
This study examined the impact of using a motivational mobile text messaging intervention to
increase step count among older community-dwelling African Americans. Secondary aims were to
study the effects of text messaging on self-reported leisure time exercise behavior.
Hypothesis:
Participants in the motivational mobile text messaging group will have an increase step
count after 6-weeks.
Background: Older minority populations can benefit from increased physical activity,
especially walking. Text messaging interventions have the potential to encourage positive
changes in health behavior in these groups.
Purpose: To examine if a six week program of motivational text messaging increases physical
activity (step count) among older African Americans in an urban setting.
Design: Randomized, controlled trial pilot study with assignment to motivational text
messaging group or a control group.
Setting/Participants: Thirty-six African Americans aged 60 to 85.
Intervention: The intervention group received motivational text messages three times a day,
three days a week, for six weeks. Both groups received pedometers and walking manuals to
record step counts. Study was conducted and analyzed in 2011.
Main Outcome Measures: Primary outcome measure was step count. Secondary outcome measure was
perceived activity levels assessed by the Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire (LTEQ).
