If the request is accepted, participants will fill in the non-opposition form via the application and will complete, with their smartphone, a series of psychometric questionnaires (e.g. level of physical activity, personality, motivation, perceived physical competence, new technologies acceptability, etc.). Participants will then use the mobile application for a period of 12 weeks during which time, physical activity data provided from participants smartphone will be gathered such as the number of steps or gait speed. Psychometric questionnaires comprising each time one item (i.e. ecological momentary assessment) will be administered to participants randomly, in order to assess their evolution.
