Study Summary
Cardiovascular disease accounts for 1 in 3 deaths among US adults and is strongly related to physical activity. Most older adults do not participate in healthy levels of physical activity. Physical activity promotion and counseling from a primary health care provider is important for disease prevention. In addition to counseling, an activity monitor can increase physical activity through self-regulation. Two types of monitors are available: pedometers and electronic activity monitors (EAMs). Research shows that both monitors are motivational devices that can increase physical activity. Pedometers count steps of the wearer. EAMs can monitor steps, monitor burned calories, quality of sleep, and sedentary time. EAMs may also offer more behavioral change techniques and opportunities for self-monitoring. The goal of this study is to compare the effectiveness of EAMs compared to a pedometer on increasing physical activity and decreasing cardiovascular risk within older adult, primary care patients. The study will include sedentary, overweight primary care patients, 55-74 years of age with access to a smart phone or tablet. All participants will receive brief physical activity counseling. Participants will then be randomized to receive a self-monitoring device (Digi-walker CW-700/701 or UP24 by Jawbone) to wear for 3 months. Investigators will evaluate the following outcomes: physical activity, cardiovascular risk (Framingham risk calculator, fitness), psychological feeling toward exercise, physical function, health status, exercise motivation and self-regulation. The investigators hypothesize that EAMs will be more effective than pedometers in improving these outcomes. The results of this pilot test will aid in the translation of effective physical activity intervention components to primary care clinics for cardiovascular disease prevention.
