This nonblinded randomized controlled trial investigated the efficacy of a physical activity (PA) intervention underpinned by self-determination theory. Participants (N = 31, mean age 69 years [SD = 4.9]) diagnosed with bowel polyps were randomized to an active lifestyle program (ALP; n = 17) or standard care (n = 14). ALP received supervised exercise and counseling for 6 months. Both groups were followed up at 12 months. Outcomes were change in PA and behavioral regulation. Data were analyzed with intention to treat. At 6 months, differences were observed for behavioral regulation in favor of ALP (p < .05). PA differences were significant for leisure, walking, and vigorous in favor of ALP (p < .05). The self-determination theory can be an effective strategy for promoting PA behavior change in this population, but a larger trial is needed to further explore the utility of the self-determination theory in this context.

BACKGROUND Unhealthy dietary patterns and insufficient physical activity (PA) are associated with negative health outcomes, such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, cancer, overweight, and obesity. This makes the promotion of healthy dietary and PA behaviors a public health priority. OBJECTIVE This paper describes the development, design, and evaluation protocol of a Web-based computer-tailored (CT) dietary and PA promotion intervention, <i>MyLifestyleCoach</i>. A Web-based format was chosen for its accessibility and large-scale reach and low-cost potential. To achieve effective and persistent behavioral change, this innovative intervention is tailored to individual characteristics and is based on the self-determination theory and motivational interviewing (MI). METHODS The 6 steps of the intervention mapping protocol were used to systematically develop <i>MyLifestyleCoach</i> based on the existing effective CT PA promotion intervention <i>I Move</i>. The <i>MyLifestyleCoach</i> intervention consists of 2 modules: <i>I Move</i>, which is aimed at promoting PA, and <i>I Eat</i>, which is aimed at promoting healthy eating. Development of the <i>I Eat</i> module was informed by the previously developed <i>I Move</i>. Both modules were integrated to form the comprehensive <i>MyLifestyleCoach</i> program. Furthermore, <i>I Move</i> was slightly adapted, for example, the new Dutch PA guidelines were implemented. A randomized controlled trial consisting of an intervention condition and waiting list control group will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention on diet and PA. RESULTS Self-reported measures take place at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months after baseline. Enrollment started in October 2018 and will be completed in June 2020. Data analysis is currently under way, and the first results are expected to be submitted for publication in 2020. CONCLUSIONS <i>MyLifestyleCoach</i> is one of the first interventions to translate and apply self-determination theory and techniques from MI in Web-based computer tailoring for an intervention targeting PA and dietary behavior. Intervention mapping served as a blueprint for the development of this intervention. We will evaluate whether this approach is also successful in promoting eating healthier and increasing PA using an randomized controlled trial by comparing the intervention to a waiting list control condition. The results will provide an insight into the short- and long-term efficacy and will result in recommendations for the implementation and promotion of healthy eating and PA among adults in the Netherlands.

Abstract Overweight and obesity are one of the most important health problems worldwide. Physical inactivity is indicated as one of the most determining factors of overweight and obesity. The Self-Determination Theory points out the importance of motivation in the patterns related to physical activity. The aims of this study were to show the reasons for performing and the methods of a randomised controlled trial o evaluate the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary physical activity programme to promote physical activity levels in inactive school children and encourage healthy lifestyles, carried out under the Self-Determination Theory postulates. The present paper presents a RCT for adolescents of 1st and 2nd grades of Secondary Compulsory School. The multidisciplinary training program consists of two parts: the first part is cross-sectional, and the second part, the Physical Activity Program, is of a longitudinal nature. This project takes into account the socio-economic impact that a healthy lifestyle will generate, as well as its potential to apply the results and transfer them to the productive sector. This study is of great interest to the scientific community as it will provide relevant information on physical inactivity issues, sedentary lifestyle, generation of healthy habits and physical exercise.
