ABSTRACT

In a pilot randomized controlled trial of university students aged 18-29 years, we assessed the feasibility of providing wearable devices to measure physical activity over 6 months. Daily adherence declined over time in both groups, while moderate and vigorous physical activity levels remained similar between the control and intervention groups.
