dc.description.abstract | Objective: To determine whether adding web-based support (e-coachER) to an exercise referral
scheme (ERS) increases objectively assessed physical activity (PA).
Design: Multicentre trial with participants randomised to usual ERS alone (control) or usual ERS plus
e-coachER (intervention).
Setting: Primary care and ERS in 3 UK sites from 2015- 2018.
Participants: 450 inactive ERS referees with chronic health conditions.
Interventions: Participants received a pedometer, PA recording sheets, and a User Guide for the
web-based support. e-coachER interactively encouraged the use of the ERS and other PA options.
Main outcome measures: Primary and key secondary outcomes were: objective moderate-tovigorous PA (MVPA) minutes (in ≥10 minute bouts and without bouts), respectively, after 12 months.
Secondary outcomes were: other accelerometer-derived and self-reported PA measures, ERS
attendance, EQ-5D-5L, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and beliefs about PA. All outcomes
were collected at baseline, 4 and 12 months. Primary analysis was an intention to treat comparison
between intervention and control arms at 12 months follow-up.
Results: There was no significant effect of the intervention on weekly MVPA at 12 months between
the groups recorded in ≥10 minute bouts (mean difference 11.8 minutes of MVPA, 95% CI -2.1 to
26.0; p=0.10) or without bouts (mean difference 13.7 minutes of MVPA, 95% CI -26.8 to 54.2;
p=0.51) for 232 participants with usable data. There was no difference in the primary or secondary
PA outcomes at 4 or 12 months.
Conclusion: Augmenting ERS referrals with web-based behavioural support had only a weak, nonsignificant effect on MVPA. | en_GB |
