About MotiApp Android App

With this application you will receive daily notifications with a wide variety of motivational text messages aimed at increasing your motivation to start or keep doing physical activity!

This application is part of a study carried out within the framework of the COMMIT/ project. In this study and through this application, we want to find out how to motivate people effectively with simple motivational text messages to either start doing physical activity or to keep doing physical activity. Within the application you will receive daily notifications (the text messages) over the course of three months that you are asked to rate either ‘Motivating’ or ‘Not motivating’. We ask you to rate these messages considering your own situation, do you think this message contributes a little to your motivation to start doing physical activity or to keep doing physical activity? After three months, you will be debriefed, but you can keep using the application.

We would greatly appreciate if you install Google Fit next to this application. In this study, we collect data through the Google Fit API, which tracks how much you walked, ran or biked. However, if you do not have or want Google Fit installed, you can still participate in this study.

If you have any disability that might prevent you from doing physical activity or if you have received medical advice to not partake in physical activity, please do not participate in this study.
