Article Synopsis
- Opt2Move is a research trial that aims to boost moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among young adult cancer survivors using a mobile health (mHealth) approach and a structured methodology called MOST.
- The trial includes 304 participants who will use a core intervention with a Fitbit and a smartphone app, with some assigned to receive additional support components like E-Coach, a buddy system, or mindfulness practices.
- The goal is to assess the effectiveness of these components on MVPA over a 12-week period and examine their impact on other health-related factors, potentially leading to improved health outcomes for young adult cancer survivors.
Background: Young men are vastly underrepresented in lifestyle interventions, suggesting a need to develop appealing yet effective interventions for this population.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the acceptability of a self-guided lifestyle intervention designed specifically for young men (age: 18-35 years old).
Methods: Semistructured interviews and surveys were completed by 14 men following completion of a remotely delivered, 12-week lifestyle intervention.
