Feasibility of a Health Coach Intervention to Reduce Sitting Time and Improve Physical Functioning Among Breast Cancer Survivors: Pilot Intervention Study

Feasibility of a Health Coach Intervention to Reduce Sitting Time and Improve Physical Functioning Among Breast Cancer Survivors: Pilot Intervention Study

As part of the Rise intervention, participants were asked to wear the activ PAL on their thigh continuously for weeks 1-4 and again during week 7 to receive feedback on their sitting time (Figures 1 and 2) to promote self-monitoring to support habit formation. Figure 1 is an example feedback report provided to participants. It shows the average sitting time each week they wore the activ PAL so that participants can see how their sitting time changes across the intervention.

The Effectiveness of a Web-Based Computer-Tailored Intervention on Workplace Sitting: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The Effectiveness of a Web-Based Computer-Tailored Intervention on Workplace Sitting: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Sedentary behavior was measured objectively using the activ PAL (PAL Technologies, Glasgow, UK) activity monitor (weight 15 g, dimensions 53 × 35 × 7 mm). This inclinometer, distinguishing periods of sitting or lying from standing and assessing breaks from sitting, has been validated (correlation between activ PAL and direct observation: R2=.94) in adults [43] and was recommended to assess sedentary behavior [43,44].
