“…According to ClinicalTrials.Gov, a search for ‘Fitbit/Apple watch,’ with ‘interventional’ as study type, indicated more than 400 clinical trials used- or are currently using Fitbit products and 26 trials used Apple watches. In those intervention studies, Fitbit has been used along with text messages [ 12 ], goal-setting [ 12 ], a web-based lifestyle program [ 13 ], lifestyle behavior change education sessions [ 14 ], a structured exercise intervention [ 15 ], counseling [ 12 ], a monetary incentive [ 16 ] and a support group [ 17 , 18 ]. It has also been widely used in clinical populations such as adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ 17 ], adolescent and young adult cancer survivors [ 18 ], adults with serious mental illness [ 7 ], type 2 diabetes [ 14 ], older adults with high risk of coronary heart disease [ 15 ], and people with Down Syndrome [ 19 ].…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of three consumer-based activity monitors, Fitbit Charge 2, Fitbit Alta, and the Apple Watch 2, all worn on the wrist, in estimating step counts, moderate-to-vigorous minutes (MVPA), and heart rate in a free-living setting. Methods Forty-eight participants (31 females, 17 males; ages 18–59) were asked to wear the three consumer-based monitors mentioned above on the wrist, concurrently with a Yamax pedometer as the criterion for step count, an ActiGraph GT3X+ (ActiGraph) for MVPA, and a Polar H7 chest strap for heart rate. Participants wore the monitors for a 24-hour free-living condition without changing their usual active routine. MVPA was calculated in bouts of ≥10 minutes. Pearson correlation, mean absolute percent error (MAPE), and equivalence testing were used to evaluate the measurement agreement. Results The average step counts recorded for each device were as follows: 11,734 (Charge2), 11,922 (Alta), 11,550 (Apple2), and 10,906 (Yamax). The correlations in steps for the above monitors ranged from 0.84 to 0.95 and MAPE ranged from 17.1% to 35.5%. For MVPA minutes, the average were 76.3 (Charge2), 63.3 (Alta), 49.5 (Apple2), and 47.8 (ActiGraph) minutes accumulated in bouts of 10 or greater minutes. The correlation from MVPA estimation for above monitors were 0.77, 0.91, and 0.66. MAPE from MVPA estimation ranged from 44.7% to 55.4% compared to ActiGraph. For heart rate, correlation for Charge2 and Apple2 was higher for sedentary behavior and lower for MVPA. The MAPE ranged from 4% to 16%. Conclusion All three consumer monitors estimated step counts fairly accurately, and both the Charge2 and Apple2 reported reasonable heart rate estimation. However, all monitors substantially underestimated MVPA in free-living settings.

“…It is noted that user experiences of activity trackers are more positive when used alongside personal goal setting, 34 and changes to longer-term behavior may not succeed with such techniques. 35 Gym attendance was higher for the PT group, and at 12 months, more participants in that group reported they were still attending the gym, suggesting that the involvement of the PT positively influenced attendance. A sustained change in behavior such as choosing to attend a gym regularly is a complex process involving an individual's capability, opportunity, and motivation.…”

“…Although a recent study reported that people with hemophilia were accepting of wearing a Fitbit, 33 adherence with wearable technology in our study cohort was poor, being negatively influenced by forgetting to charge and wear it. It is noted that user experiences of activity trackers are more positive when used alongside personal goal setting, 34 and changes to longer‐term behavior may not succeed with such techniques 35 …”

Introduction Many young men with hemophilia engage in physical activity and sport but face challenges to participation because of their hemophilia. Project GYM aimed to investigate the feasibility of a hemophilia‐specific fitness program led by a personal trainer (PT) and its impact on gym activity, motivation, and adherence to exercise. Methods This was a nonblinded, randomized feasibility study, recruiting participants aged 18 to 25 years with hemophilia A or B (all severities, ± inhibitor) from three London hemophilia centers. All participants were given an activity tracker and free gym membership. Participants were randomized to a “gym only” or “gym and PT” arm. Participants completed questionnaires evaluating motivation to exercise, quality of life, physical activity levels, self‐efficacy, and self‐esteem at study start and study end. Results Of 142 eligible individuals, 19 agreed to participate. Participants were healthy, with mean body mass index and adiposity slightly lower than the UK average. They reported low bleed numbers and had good joint health (median Hemophilia Joint Health Score [HJHS], 0; range, 0‐13). The gym and PT group had more gym attendance than the gym‐only group. Seven participants increased their activity levels and nine stayed the same, with no statistical difference between groups. HJHS scores improved in 3 participants and were unchanged in 12. There was no bleeding associated with gym activity. Conclusion Project GYM has demonstrated the safety and feasibility of a tailored physical training program in young men with hemophilia. Increased gym attendance, with and without support from a PT, is associated with increased physical activity.

“…As intervenções tiveram duração entre um e seis meses, sendo a maioria delas de 12 semanas (Quadro 1). Os protocolos para mensurar a AF variaram, sendo o mais prevalente a contagem de passos (três utilizando pedômetro 24,25,27 e um usando acelerômetro 29 ). As versões curta 26 e longa 25 do IPAQ, o monitoramento semanal por meio de website e dispositivo móvel 22 , o questionário de estágios de mudança de comportamento para o exercício físico e AF de lazer via Physical Activity Questionnaire, versão tailandesa 27 , também foram utilizados.…”

Resumo Intervenções com aconselhamento têm sido amplamente usadas para modificar o nível de atividade física das populações. O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre intervenções com aconselhamento de atividade física (AF). Foram incluídos estudos originais de intervenção com aconselhamento tendo como desfecho a atividade física, publicados nas bases de dados do Medline/PubMed, BVS e SciELO entre janeiro de 2010 e abril de 2020, nos idiomas inglês e português e com população de adultos sem doenças diagnosticadas. A qualidade metodológica foi avaliada utilizando-se a escala PEDro. Foram encontrados 2.152 artigos, após a triagem restaram oito manuscritos, produzidos em sete países. Em relação à avaliação da qualidade dos trabalhos, as pontuações variaram entre 4/10 e 8/10 na escala PEDro. As intervenções com aconselhamento para AF tiveram duração de um a seis meses e foram efetivas em sete das oito pesquisas selecionadas. Os estudos utilizaram como formas de aconselhamento: ligações, SMS, aplicativo de celular, aconselhamento face a face, e-mail, materiais postados em website, apostila, cartilhas e telegrama. Os resultados desta revisão demonstraram que o aconselhamento à prática de AF aumenta o nível de AF de adultos saudáveis, mesmo com a heterogeneidade de métodos.
