Abstract

Physical activity (PA) is important in reducing risk of several noncommunicable diseases. For long-term impact, PA promotion programs should be engaging, and have broad reach. Interactive Web 2.0 technologies may help to engage participants more effectively than more static Web 1.0 websites. The primary aim of the Walk 2.0 trial was to investigate the effectiveness of a Web 2.0 intervention on PA. This paper reports on the proportion of participants meeting the recommended 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) daily. Despite the initial PA improvements for the Walk 2.0 intervention, less interactive interventions resulted in greater changes in activity at longer-term follow-up.
