Understanding the relationship between college students' physical activity (PA) self-monitoring and PA levels has the potential to inform initiatives to promote PA. This study's purpose was to examine the prevalence of technology-based self-monitoring among college students the potential relationship between device usage, goal setting behaviors, PA enjoyment, and PA levels. An online survey assessed students' demographics, current PA level, technology-based PA self-monitoring, and psychosocial outcomes. Independent t-tests examined differences in PA level and psychosocial outcomes by device use. 55.5% of the final sample (N=1,154) reported technology-based self-monitoring. Mobile phone app-based PA tracking was the most commonly reported (29.9%), followed by heart rate monitors (23.1%). Device use was significantly related to vigorous PA and psychosocial outcomes. Findings have the potential to inform development of technology-based interventions that promote student PA.
了解大学生身体活动（PA）自我监测与PA水平之间的关系，有可能为促进PA的举措提供信息。本研究的目的是调查大学生中基于技术的自我监测的流行情况，以及设备使用、目标设定行为、PA乐趣和PA水平之间的潜在关系。一项在线调查评估了学生的人口统计学特征、当前PA水平、基于技术的PA自我监测以及心理社会结果。独立样本t检验考察了设备使用在PA水平和心理社会结果方面的差异。最终样本（N = 1154）中有55.5%报告了基于技术的自我监测。基于手机应用程序的PA追踪是最常被报告的（29.9%），其次是心率监测器（23.1%）。设备使用与剧烈PA和心理社会结果显著相关。研究结果有可能为促进学生PA的基于技术的干预措施的制定提供信息。
