The First Step Program uses simple and inexpensive pedometers to incrementally increase walking behaviors in sedentary individuals with type 2 diabetes. The pilot sample consisted of nine individuals (six women, three men; group mean age 53+/-6; group mean body mass index=32.9+/-3.4kg/m(2)). A timed self-paced walk while wearing the pedometer allowed for the conversion of changes in pedometer steps per day to time in minutes per day. There was an immediate and dramatic increase in walking behavior (an average of 34.3min of walking a day) that was sustained even 2 months post-intervention and after withdrawal of contact (an average of 22.6min of walking a day). Improvements in other outcomes (systolic blood pressure and waist girth) support a valid change in behavior. Although preliminary, these results warrant further investigation of such approaches.
“第一步计划”使用简单且价格低廉的计步器，逐步增加2型糖尿病久坐不动个体的步行量。试点样本包括9名个体（6名女性，3名男性；组平均年龄53±6岁；组平均体重指数为32.9±3.4kg/m²）。佩戴计步器时进行的定时自定步速行走，可将每天计步器步数的变化转换为每天的分钟数。步行行为立即出现显著增加（平均每天步行34.3分钟），即使在干预后2个月且停止联系后仍持续存在（平均每天步行22.6分钟）。其他结果（收缩压和腰围）的改善支持了行为的有效改变。尽管这些结果是初步的，但值得对这类方法进行进一步研究。
