Minimal-contact physical activity interventions in women: a pilot study

Catrina DuVall et al. Am J Health Behav. 2004 May-Jun.

Abstract

Objective: To examine the impact of 3 minimal-contact lifestyle interventions on physical activity in women.

Methods: Fifty female volunteers were randomly assigned to one of 3 lifestyle physical activity interventions for 8 weeks. Subjects wore an accelerometer for a week at baseline and postintervention to objectively monitor their physical activity.

Results: Participants significantly increased their physical activity from baseline to postintervention; however, there was no significant difference in physical activity among the 3 intervention groups.

Conclusions: Results of this pilot study support the use of minimal-contact lifestyle interventions to promote physical activity in women.
