A high physical fitness can prevent cardiovascular disease. Which form of exercise training is efficient at improving fitness is well known. The challenge is to get people to do it. Personal activity intelligence (PAI) is an algorithm developed for this challenge. It gives a score that tells the users whether they are active enough to achieve the maximum health benefit of exercise based on their heart rate. It has been shown that people who obtain 100 PAI a week have less cardiovascular disease, but intervention studies showing that PAI can improve physical fitness are so far lacking.
Step counters have received a lot of attention and 10 000 steps a day is a common recommendation, but little is known about the physiological adaptations to this intervention.
This study will compare the effect of physical activity with a value of 100 PAI points a week with 10 000 steps a day in healthy, but overweight (body mass index > 25) participants between 30 and 50 years of age.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Subjects will be encouraged to obtain 10 000 steps a day, monitored by a step counter (fit bit zip)
Behavioral: 10,000 steps daily
Subjects will be encouraged to obtain 100 PAI points per week, monitored by Mio Slice and the Mio Pai 2.0 smart phone application
Behavioral: personal activity intelligence
Participants randomized to the PAI intervention will receive a Mio Slice fitness bracelet and asked to install the Mio Pai 2.0 app on their smart phone. This tracks their fitness score based on the PAI algorithm where the goal is to maintain 100 PAI points a week. PAI is earned incrementally based on time spent in three different heart rate zones, low, medium and high intensity. PAI is recorded every day and added to the weekly total and the PAI earned on the same day the previous week is deleted (on Tuesday, the PAI earned the previous Tuesday will disappear). Participants will be encouraged to maintain 100 PAI during the 8 weeks intervention by telephone messages (sms).
Also known as: PAI
Participants randomized to the 10,000 step intervention will receive a fit bit zip step counter and asked to obtain 10.000 steps per day. Participants will be encouraged to obtain 10.000 steps per day by telephone messages (sms).
Maximal oxygen uptake
The highest amount of oxygen the body can take up, achieved at maximal exercise at the end of an incremental treadmill test measured through ergospirometry. The difference between the two groups post-intervention will be used, while controlling for a pre-intervention value.
Time frame: After the intervention period (8 weeks)
Body composition
Body mass, fat mass and lean mass will be measured using a bio impedance analysis which weighs the participants and uses bio impedance to also assess fat mass and lean mass. The difference between the two groups post-intervention will be used, while controlling for a pre-intervention value.
Time frame: After intervention period (8 weeks)
Ran from Nov 2017 to primary completion in Feb 2018, 3 months.
Of 3,680 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Obesity, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 43. This study's 3 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,843 studies reached it within 22 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 42.
