Exercise more or sit less? A randomized trial assessing the feasibility of two advice-based interventions in obese inactive adults.

Objectives: The risk of metabolic and cardiovascular disease may be reduced by a healthy pattern of daily physical activity. We investigated the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of advice-based interventions aiming at either increasing moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) or reducing sedentary time (ST) in obese volunteers.

Design: Randomized non-blinded two-armed trial.
