Fitbit and coaching boost activity in knee pain study

This study tested whether a health coaching program (called CAPPA) combined with a Fitbit could help employees with chronic knee pain become more physically active. Thirty-nine participants were split into two groups: one received physical activity coaching, the other received general health education. The main goal was to see if more people in the coaching group reached 150 minutes of weekly moderate-to-vigorous activity. Researchers also used Fitbit data from the first four weeks to predict who might not improve.
