Detaljert beskrivelse
Poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle are common among young adults and increase risk for chronic diseases in subsequent years of life.
Rashakaty (Fitness for Me) study aimed to design a new technologies-based intervention using a website and smart phone applications and to test the feasibility of implementing a lifestyle intervention using these technologies for overweight and obese university students.
The study intervention was guided by Social Cognitive Theory.
The study involved the development of a website, integrating educational material and mobile applications for monitoring diet and physical activity and a16-week feasibility trial to promote weight loss, improve food choices and increase physical activity levels.
The trial consisted of two arms: Rashakaty Basic (R-Basic) and Rashakaty Enhanced (R-Enhanced).
