A healthy mind in a healthy body: A two-group randomised pilot trial evaluating web-based physical activity interventions to improve mental and physical health in people with depression

After providing informed consent and completing the baseline survey, participants will be randomly directed to one of two different web-based physical activity programs. The web-based programs are the Walk 2.0 and MyPAA (My Physical Activity Advice) websites developed from previous research projects. Both websites consist of physical activity-related content (e.g., information about goal-setting, the benefits of physical activity). The homepages of both websites will include information about accessing counseling services for depression. The WALK2.0 website is more focused on delivering the material in an interactive manner (providing discussion forums, feedback on goal accomplishment, self-monitoring, etc.) whereas the MyPAA website is more focused on delivering the material with computer-tailoring features (e.g., provides information relevant for that specific person based on that person's behaviour, motivation, etc.). Participants will be able to access the websites as much as they want for as long as they want. Follow-up assessments will occur at 1 and 3 months after baseline.
