Physical activity was measured using the questionaire and smartphone-health-app, and self-efficacy were assessed through extensive questionnaire. Data was analyzed within and between smartphone health-app and control groups to assess progarm using pair t-tests.

Results: The primary outcome of promoting PA, there was a significant increase after 12-week of intervention, and significant difference between the groups was observed. The secondary outcomes, there was a significant increase in self-efficacy in both groups, and significant difference between groups.
