Study Summary

This trial is testing whether home-based data collection methods can accurately measure four health constructs: physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness, anthropometry, and environmental variables.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for English-speaking adults under 45 (men) or under 55 (women), with low risk for cardiovascular disease, meaning they have less than two risk factors and no history of cancer. Pregnant women and children under 18 cannot participate.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests home-based methods to measure physical activity using pedometers and real-time assessments, cardiorespiratory fitness through a step test, body measurements like waist circumference, and environmental factors affecting exercise habits.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this study involves non-invasive measures such as physical activity tracking and self-reported data collection without medical interventions, there are minimal expected side effects.

Active Control

Group I: Physical Activity RecallActive Control1 Intervention

Hand-held computers will be used to record information for 7 days about physical activity. Assessments will be completed either 3 times a day or once a day.

Group II: Environmental AssessmentActive Control1 Intervention

Environmental assessments on a palm pilot either 3 times a day or once a day. Hand-held computer programs will be used to collect information about the community. Some factors will be assessed only once (e.g., availability of facilities) while other information will be collected over the course of 7 days (e.g., perceptions of neighborhood safety).
