This study aimed to examine the effectiveness and acceptability of wearable activity trackers with self-regulatory techniques for promoting physical activity (PA) in older adults. In addition, this study aimed to investigate the impact of a multicomponent PA intervention on life satisfaction, happiness, eudaimonic well-being, and depressive symptoms, reflecting different dimensions of psychological well-being, in older adults.
Fifty-nine participants living in retirement communities were voluntarily assigned to a 12-week multi-component PA intervention program or an attention control group. Participants in the intervention group were asked to take three 45-min supervised group exercise lessons per week and wear wearable activity trackers during the weekdays for 12 weeks. Four components of psychological well-being were assessed at baseline and the end of the intervention including life satisfaction, happiness, eudaimonic well-being, and depressive symptoms. The intervention effect on each component of psychological well-being was analyzed using linear mixed models after controlling for potential confounders. Participants' experiences of using the wearable activity tracker were assessed after the 12-week intervention through an 8-item questionnaire and individual interviews

Exclusion Criteria:
The intervention group received three, 45-min group exercise lessons for 12 weeks. The group exercise lessons were taught by two experienced instructors.. Each participant in the intervention group received a Fitbit (Model InspireHR) activity tracker to self-monitor their daily PA, 5 days per week for 12 weeks.
Behavioral: Active Body and Mind
The comparison group continued their usual activities.
The intervention group attended three 45-min group exercise lessons per week and wore a Fitbit activity tracker during the weekdays for 12 weeks combined with weekly feedback and personalized activity goals.
Baseline Depression
Depression was measured using the 10-item Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Inventory on a 4-point Likert scale. The level of depressive symptoms was reflected by summing the responses of the ten items, with higher scores indicating greater levels of depressive symptoms.
Time frame: Baseline (the week before the intervention)
Baseline Happiness
Happiness was measured using the 4-item Subjective Happiness Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. The mean score of all items was calculated to indicate the level of happiness with higher scores indicating greater happiness.
Time frame: Baseline (the week before the intervention)
Baseline Life Satisfaction
Life satisfaction was measured using the 5-item Satisfaction With Life Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. The sum of all items provides a composite score, with higher scores representing higher levels of life satisfaction.
Time frame: Baseline (the week before the intervention)
Baseline Eudaimonic Well-Being
Eudaimonic well-being was assessed using the 18-item Psychological Well-Being Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. An overall score was computed by averaging the scores of all items. Higher scores indicate higher levels of eudaimonic well-being.
Time frame: Baseline (the week before the intervention)
Posttest Depression
Depression was measured using the 10-item Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Inventory on a 4-point Likert scale. The level of depressive symptoms was reflected by summing the responses of the ten items, with higher scores indicating greater levels of depressive symptoms.
Time frame: Post-intervention test (the week after the intervention)
Posttest Happiness
Happiness was measured using the 4-item Subjective Happiness Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. The mean score of all items was calculated to indicate the level of happiness with higher scores indicating greater happiness.
Time frame: Post-intervention test (the week after the intervention)
Posttest Life Satisfaction
Life satisfaction was measured using the 5-item Satisfaction With Life Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. The sum of all items provides a composite score, with higher scores representing higher levels of life satisfaction.
Time frame: Post-intervention test (the week after the intervention)
Posttest Eudaimonic Well-Being
Eudaimonic well-being was assessed using the 18-item Psychological Well-Being Scale on a 7-point Likert scale. An overall score was computed by averaging the scores of all items. Higher scores indicate higher levels of eudaimonic well-being.
Time frame: Post-intervention test (the week after the intervention)
