The understanding, acceptability, and relevance of personalised multidimensional physical activity feedback among urban adults: evidence from a qualitative feasibility study in Sri Lanka

Carukshi Arambepola et al.

Summary: This study found that most participants needed some guidance to understand the feedback initially, but were quickly able to interpret the data shown and were willing to use the feedback as a basis for setting goals to improve physical activity. Participants perceived the feedback and its delivery as novel because it provided new knowledge about physical activity guidelines and awareness on their own behavior. Comparisons of personal performance against recommended physical activity levels and information on sedentary time were the most commonly motivating aspects of the feedback, prompting discussions about behavior change.
