Web-based Physical Activity Intervention to Promote Physical Activity

ClinicalTrials.gov · August 12, 2026

Preliminary Why this matters to you Expert discussion

Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.

AI Summary

This is a completed registry record for a behavioral interventional trial comparing a web-based physical activity intervention (PATH) to attention control in insufficiently active adults with obesity. No trial results are reported in this registry entry, so efficacy, safety, or outcome magnitude cannot be assessed.

What was studied

Interventional, Randomized, Parallel, Double masking, Health Services Research purpose. Cardiovascular Diseases; age from 18 Years; accepts healthy volunteers. Intervention: PATH Intervention. Compared with: Attention Control Group — Active Comparator. n = 89. 1 site: United States.

Key findings

Safety

Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.

Who this may help

The source did not state who this applies to in practice.

Plain-language summary

This is a completed interventional trial registry record with no published results reported; the entry documents planned design and enrollment only, with no outcome data disclosed.

Study design

As stated by the source record.

MethodsPrimary outcome measures: Weekly Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity Measured With ActiGraph (assessed at Baseline, Month 6); Weekly Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity Measured With FitBit (assessed at Baseline, Month 6); Number of Participants by Change in Physical Activity (PA) Guidelines Adherence (assessed at Baseline, Month 6); Step Count (assessed at Baseline, Month 6); 2013 Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Calculator Score (assessed at Baseline, Month 6)

Caveats

This is a registry record only; no trial results, effect sizes, or statistical comparisons are reported.
Study phase, blinding method, and allocation concealment details are not disclosed.
Follow-up duration is 6 months; longer-term outcomes unknown.
No sample size justification or power calculation is stated in this entry.

Evidence assessment

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.

Study design

moderate

Interventional, randomized assignment to PATH or attention control stated.

Directness

moderate

Primary outcomes measure physical activity and cardiovascular risk directly.

Consistency

insufficient

No results reported; consistency cannot be assessed from registry entry alone.

Risk of bias

insufficient

Blinding, allocation concealment, and other bias mitigation details not stated.

Sample adequacy

limited

Enrollment was 89 total participants; adequacy for primary outcomes not justified.

What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.

Source abstract

Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05803304). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Emory University. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 89 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Cardiovascular Diseases. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: PATH Intervention; BEHAVIORAL: Attention Control Intervention; OTHER: Physical activity tracker; BEHAVIORAL: Dietary education. Primary outcome measures: Weekly Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity Measured With ActiGraph , Baseline, Month 6; Weekly Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity Measured With FitBit , Baseline, Month 6; Number of Participants by Change in Physical Activity (PA) Guidelines Adherence , Baseline, Month 6; Step Count , Baseline, Month 6; 2013 Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) Risk Calculator Score , Baseline, Month 6. Brief summary: In this study insufficiently active adults with obesity will be assigned to either the Physical Activity for The Heart (PATH) intervention or an attention control group.
