Smartphone apps to improve fitness and increase physical activity among young people: protocol of the Apps for IMproving FITness (AIMFIT) randomized controlled trial
TL;DR: The primary outcome is cardiorespiratory fitness, assessed as time to complete the one mile run/walk test at 8 weeks, and secondary outcomes are physical activity levels, self-efficacy, enjoyment, psychological need satisfaction, and acceptance and usability of the apps.

Jaana T. Kari,Jaakko Pehkonen,Mirja Hirvensalo,Xiaolin Yang,Nina Hutri-Kähönen,Olli T. Raitakari,Tuija Tammelin +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that there is an association between income and physical activity, but the association is gender-specific and depends on the measurement type of physical activity.

Disparities in physical activity resource availability in six US regions.
Sydney A. Jones,Latetia V. Moore,Kari Moore,Melissa A. Zagorski,Shannon J. Brines,Ana V. Diez Roux,Kelly R. Evenson +6 more
TL;DR: The availability of physical activity resources varied by sociodemographic characteristics and across regions, and improved knowledge of resource distribution can inform strategies to provide equitable access to parks and recreational facilities.
