Sex: ALL
Minimum age (years): 18
Maximum age (years): 64
Standard ages: ADULT
Accepts healthy volunteers: yes
Allocation: RANDOMIZED
Intervention model: PARALLEL
Intervention model description: Participants in the intervention group will wear a device and will either receive motivational support via social media or not. The control group will not wear a device during the intervention phase.
Primary purpose: PREVENTION

Brief summary: The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine whether the use of a wearable device and social media based intention increases physical activity and enhance sleep quality among adults.

Detailed description: The present study aims to study sedentary breaks and sleep quality in Taiwanese adults.

This is a three-arm randomized controlled trial, exploring the effects of a one-month wearable device-based intervention (Garmin tracker) in increasing physical activity and improving sleep quality in adults (Target n = 75 ). The one-month follow-up assessment will be conducted to examine the remaining effects of the intervention.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does using a wearable device improve physical activity and improve sleep quality among adults?

Does the inclusion of motivational support provided via social media promote even greater effects in increasing physical activity and improvements in sleep quality?

Researchers will compare groups wearing a device and receiving motivational support via social media (intervention group 1) or wearing a device but without support (intervention 2) to a control condition (participants who do not wear a device and do not receive support) to see whether a wearable device could increase physical activity and improve sleep.
