The MOV\'D (Move Often eVery Day) intervention is a remotely-delivered, peer-supported intervention that delivers exercise snack (2-5 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity) and behavior change technique (BCT) videos to a private social media support group with the goal of interrupting prolonged sitting at work with MVPA minutes. The preliminary efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability trial will test the effects of MOV\'D, a socially-supported, evidence-based behavior change technique educational and behavioral intervention to increase the number of active hours (an indirect measure of prolonged sitting bouts) (Hypothesis 1) and number of MVPA minutes (Hypothesis 2). This pilot will gather important estimates of the effect sizes, the variance, and covariance of the primary outcomes to calculate the sample size needed to power a larger fully powered RCT.
