Official title
Gamified Exercise for Hardcore Smokers: A Quasi-Experimental Protocol for Improving Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Smoking Cessation
Overview
The goal of this quasi-experiment is to learn if a gamified exercise works to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in physically inactive hardcore smokers. It will also learn about the effects of smoking cessation. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does a gamification of a structured training program improve the cardiorespiratory fitness and smoking cessation behavior among smokers? * Is there any mediating effect from the level of physical activity between a gamified exercise and cardiorespiratory fitness? * Will the smokers engage in the gamified exercise within the 12-week intervention? This is a no-control group. The quasi-experiment will be conducted within one group (paired data).
Interventions
- Behavioral Gamification of a structured exercise program
A structured exercise program with FITT-VP principles is gamified and delivered to 60 physically inactive hardcore smokers.
Primary outcome measures
- Estimated Maximal Oxygen Uptake (VO2Max) Measured by the Cooper 12-Minute Run Test [Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Week 13)]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Level of Physical Activity Measured by the World Health Organization Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) [Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Week 13)]
- Intention to Quit Smoking Measured by the Intention to Quit Smoking Scale (IQSS) [Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) and post-intervention (Week 13)]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- hardcore smokers (min 20 cigarettes per day)
- being active smokers at least 1 year
- physically active (MET less than 600 MET minutes per week)
Exclusion criteria
- having any medical conditions that limit them to participation in a program training
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
