Feasibility and Acceptability of an Active Video Game–Based Physical Activity Support Group (Pink Warrior) for Survivors of Breast Cancer: Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

Feasibility and Acceptability of an Active Video Game–Based Physical Activity Support Group (Pink Warrior) for Survivors of Breast Cancer: Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial

We used the randomization procedure previously reported by Lyons et al [52]. Briefly, a project staff member (SJW) who was not involved in the assessment used a random number generator [53] to preassign numbers 1 to 20 (cohort 1), 21 to 40 (cohort 2), and 41 to 60 (cohort 3) to either the intervention or control group. The same staff member then sealed each piece of paper with the group allocation in a standard opaque envelope with carbon paper and foil.

Testing Activity Monitors’ Effect on Health: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial Among Older Primary Care Patients

Testing Activity Monitors’ Effect on Health: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial Among Older Primary Care Patients

Lyons et al [38] found that EAMs include numerous behavioral techniques commonly associated with PA change including: self-monitoring, feedback, goal-setting, planning, social support, social comparisons, commitment, instructions on how to perform a behavior, and information on consequences [39,40]. EAMs have the potential to change behavior alone, but they will likely be more successful if combined with structured engagement [41], such as a research intervention.
