ASUKI Step Pedometer Worksite Intervention

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Physical Activity

In brief

ASUKI Step is designed to increase the number of days employees walk 10,000 steps and to reduce the number of days employees spend being inactive. Study aims were: 1. to have a minimum of 400 employee participants from each university site reach a level of 10, 000 steps per day on at least 100 days (3.5 months) during the trial period; 2. to have 70% of the employee participants from each university site maintain two or fewer inactive days per week, defined as a level of less than 3,000 steps per day; 3. to describe the socio-demographic, psychosocial, environmental and health-related determinants of success in the intervention; and 4. to evaluate the effects of a pedometer-based walking intervention in a university setting on changes in self-perceived health and stress level, sleep patterns, anthropometric measures and fitness.
