Comparing 3 Goal-Setting Techniques to Promote Adherence to National Physical Activity Guidelines in Midlife Adults: Feasibility Trial of a Mechanistic Study Design

The next step in this research is to build on these findings by conducting a larger-scale phase 1B proof-of-concept trial to examine the preliminary effects of the goal-setting techniques for increasing MVPA and promoting adherence to national aerobic PA guidelines.
