Energy balance
The intervention group showed higher levels of physical activity, including vigorous (Z = 60.51, P < 0.001) and moderate activity (Z = 104.90, P < 0.001).
Encouraging goal-oriented physical activity interventions can significantly enhance activity levels in inactive young adults.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Physical activity levels were significantly higher in the intervention group, with increases observed in vigorous activity (Z = 60.51, P < 0.001), moderate activity (Z = 104.90, P < 0.001).
Why this rating
Based on randomized controlled trial design.
