Captains were similar to their teammates except in regard to age, with captains being 2.6 years younger (P = .003). Conclusions: Results support hypotheses that self-selected teams are likely to contain individuals with similar characteristics, highlighting potential to leverage team-based health interventions to target specific populations by instructing individuals with risk characteristics to form teams to help change behavior.]]> Wed 23 Nov 2022 10:35:26 AEDT ]]> Evaluating the effectiveness of a physical activity social media advertising campaign using Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram. https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46317 platforms (Facebook; Facebook Messenger; Instagram), selling-techniques (hard-sell—sending viewers directly to (a) Apple Store or (b) Google Play, and soft-sell—sending viewers from an ad to a (c) landing-page, then to an app store) and themes (Health and Wellbeing; Body and Self-Confidence; Social Enjoyment). Outcomes were reach, click-through, and app downloads. Advertisements reached 1,373,273 people, achieving 2,989 clicks and 667 downloads. Instagram and Facebook Messenger had higher reach compared to Facebook (F[2,27] = 27.17, p < .001), whilst Facebook and Facebook Messenger both produced higher click-through (F[2,27] = 8.98, p < .001) and downloads (F[2,27] = 4.649, p = .018). Selling-technique differed, with soft-selling ads producing greater reach (F[2,27] = 4,616.077, p < .001); however, both hard-selling ads (Apple Store and Google Play) had greater click-through (F[2,27] = 10.77, p < .001) and downloads (F[2,27] = 3.791, p < .001). Advertising theme varied, with Social Enjoyment themes producing less click-through (F[2,27] = 5.709, p = .009) and downloads (F[2,27] = 5.480, p = .010). We recommend future studies to consider Facebook and Facebook Messenger, using hard-selling techniques, with themes relating to Health and Wellbeing and Body and Self-Confidence.]]> Tue 15 Nov 2022 11:38:48 AEDT ]]> Seasonal Differences in the Cost and Engagement of Facebook Advertisements for a Physical Activity Smartphone App https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39439 Tue 07 Jun 2022 10:28:24 AEST ]]> Can smartphone apps increase physical activity?
