3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Web Mediated Step GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to this study arm receive an introduction to the study website. Each person utilizes the website to track their daily physical activity steps. Goals are given on a weekly basis to increase steps by 10% per day per week over baseline values. The website channels each participant through a series of motivational messages designed to increase compliance with recommended physical activity targets
Group II: 10,000 Steps GroupActive Control1 Intervention
