Abstract

![CDATA[Research Report Platform Presentation - RR-PL-2129, Session Name: Professional Practice: Health Promotion & Wellbeing (PL-12). Background: Promotion of health and wellbeing through increased physical activity has increasingly focused on the use of the Internet to achieve maximum reach and effectiveness. To date, however, most Internet-based health promotion strategies have used more static Web 1.0 applications. Newer generation Web 2.0 Internet-based, interactive applications allow users to control the generation and sharing of information for collaboration, and it is thought that this creates better engagement with the website and intervention. The Walk 2.0 Study is investigating the potential of such applications in a 3-arm randomised controlled trial to better understand how these applications may influence health promotion variables including physical activity (PA) and health-related quality of life (HRQL).]]
