Detailed description
The aim of this study is to investigate whether and how 'MyPlan 2.0' helps adults with type 2 diabetes to be more physically active or less sedentary. Two groups will be created, an intervention group and a waiting-list control group. Both groups will be tested during three testing waves: pretest, posttest and follow-up test. Only the intervention group will be given acces to 'MyPlan 2.0'. 'MyPlan 2.0' consists of a website and mobile application targeting physical activity and sedentary behaviour. The intervention has a duration of five weeks.
Interventions

MyPlan 2.0 consists of five sessions. During these five sessions the following behaviour change techniques are used to motivate users to be more physically active or to sit less: exploring risk perceptions and perceived benefits, exploring social support, providing feedback, action planning, coping planning and monitoring.
