Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: A total of 30 subjects (8 to 12 subjects in each generation) will be recruited from university students (younger generation around 20 years old), working people working for local governments and companies (a wide range of generations from 30 to 64 years old), and older adults (65 to 80 years old) visiting the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: In the physical activity frequency survey, those who exercise more than three times a week in the "light exercise" section of the Physical Activity Frequency Questionnaire were excluded from the study.

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| With the cooperation of local governments and universities, we will encourage exercise based on the MyEverycise in subjects aged 20 to 80 (age and gender will be interviewed) and conduct a one-month effectiveness exploratory study. For the evaluation, we will use the Physical Activity Frequency Questionnaire, which we have developed a Japanese version of and which has already been verified for inter-rater reliability and reproducibility (the period to be evaluated will be modified to a one-month average). Regarding the endpoint of this study, we defined "improvement in exercise persistence" as an increase in the frequency of exercise after the intervention compared to before the intervention. Otherwise, there was no "improvement in exercise persistence". Statistical analysis of the change in exercise frequency before and after the intervention will be conducted, with "improvement in persistence" in "light exercise" as the primary endpoint. Sub-analysis will be conducted by age group. One month after the end of the intervention period, exercise retention will be assessed using the same physical activity frequency questionnaire, and statistical analysis will be conducted (post-observation evaluation). | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Statistical analysis of the change in exercise frequency before and after the intervention will be conducted for each secondary endpoint of "moderate exercise" and "intense exercise. Sub-analysis will be conducted by age group. One month after the end of the intervention period, exercise retention will be assessed using the same physical activity frequency questionnaire, and statistical analysis will be conducted (post-observation evaluation). | — |
