TaylorActive - A Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) investigating the effectiveness of tailored videos in promoting physical activity via the Internet.

Participants will be recruited, predominantly via social media, and randomised into one of three intervention groups. The three intervention groups will consist of the 'Control' group, the 'Text' group and the 'Video' group. The 'Text' group will have access to the TaylorActive website, and be asked to complete 8 modules on a weekly/fortnightly basis, in order to receive personally tailored text feedback. The 'Video' group will have access to the TaylorActive website, and be asked to complete 8 modules on a weekly/fortnightly basis, in order to receive personally tailored video feedback. The TaylorActive website is minimal and includes: - A homepage - highlighting the 'Text' and 'Video' groups modules and action plans. - A library - includes up to 25 articles. - A 5 star rating for each feedback page and library article. - A Report an issue section. - A account page where participants can update their details.
