Study summary

This pilot trial examines the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based, social networking exercise intervention in improving physical activity behavior in adults who do not perform regular exercise.

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective To determine the feasibility and acceptability of an 8-week remotely-delivered exercise intervention by conducting a randomized controlled study comparing 3 levels of behavioral engagement.

Secondary Objectives

To compare the effectiveness of 3 levels of web-based interaction on physical activity behavior, physiological training dose, motivation and quality of life. Participants are randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups:

Level 1 (attention control): Participants receive health educational materials through email and the web portal.

Level 2 (videos): Participants receive health education materials + access to 24 pre-recorded exercise videos.

Level 3 (livestream classes): Participant receive health education materials + livestream exercise classes 3 days/week for 8 weeks.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2020 to primary completion in Jan 2022, 18 months.

Of 741 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Behavior, half reached primary completion within 14 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 32. This study's 18 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 757 studies reached it within 13 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 32.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 6, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
