Izawa Self monitoring Summary (IMAGE)
Caption
Kobe University health scientists IZAWA Kazuhiro, KITAMURA Masahiro and their team showed that self-monitoring is an effective means to promote the physical activity in elderly people in need of long-term care support. They asked participants to set goals for increasing steps as well as light physical activity and decreasing time spent sitting, and to daily monitor their progress with an accelerometer and by recording it on a calendar. Once a week they received feedback on their progress from health practitioners.
