The World Health Organization recommends 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity (PA), which translates to approximately 7000 to 10,000 steps per day for adults. In Germany, less than half of the population in this age range meets this recommendation, highlighting the need for population-based intervention approaches for promoting daily PA.
The complex community-based PA intervention "10,000 Steps Ghent," which was originally developed in Belgium and was shown to be effective for PA promotion, has been adapted for implementation and evaluation in 2 German cities. The original Belgian study is currently being replicated, and we aim to examine the effectiveness of the adapted intervention among adults living in intervention city districts in Duesseldorf when compared with those living in control city districts in Wuppertal, over the course of 1 year.
A controlled intervention trial examining the effects of an intervention addressing multiple levels (eg, individual level: website; organizational level: PA promotion in companies; community level: media campaigns and environmental changes) is being conducted. PA and various secondary outcomes will be assessed in 2 random samples of adults aged 25 to 75 years (n=399 in each city) at baseline and after 1 year.
Funding for this study was obtained in March 2020. Recruitment for this study and baseline data collection were conducted from May 2021 to March 2022 (as of March 2022, 626 participants were enrolled in the study). The intervention will be implemented in Duesseldorf for 1 year from April 2022 onward, and follow-up assessments will be conducted, starting in May 2023 (until September 2023). Data analysis will be performed in fall 2023, and the results will be published in spring 2024.
To our knowledge, this is the first research project (currently underway in Germany) that is aimed at replicating the effects of a complex intervention for PA promotion that was previously shown to be effective in another European country.

世界卫生组织建议成年人进行150分钟中等至剧烈强度的体育活动（PA），这相当于每天大约7000至10000步。在德国，这个年龄范围内不到一半的人口达到了这一建议，这凸显了需要采取基于人群的干预方法来促进日常体育活动。
基于社区的复杂体育活动干预项目“根特一万步”最初在比利时开发，并已证明对促进体育活动有效，现已在德国的两个城市进行调整以实施和评估。最初的比利时研究目前正在重复进行，我们旨在研究与居住在伍珀塔尔对照城区的成年人相比，在为期1年的时间里，杜塞尔多夫干预城区的成年人中，调整后的干预措施的有效性。
正在进行一项对照干预试验，以检验一项针对多个层面（例如，个人层面：网站；组织层面：公司内的体育活动推广；社区层面：媒体宣传和环境改变）的干预措施的效果。将在25至75岁成年人的两个随机样本（每个城市n = 399）中，在基线时和1年后评估体育活动及各种次要结果。
本研究的资金于2020年3月获得。本研究的招募和基线数据收集于2021年5月至2022年3月进行（截至2022年3月，626名参与者已登记参加该研究）。干预措施将于2022年4月起在杜塞尔多夫实施1年，并将于2023年5月开始进行随访评估（直至2023年9月）。数据分析将于2023年秋季进行，结果将于2024年春季公布。
据我们所知，这是第一个（目前正在德国进行的）旨在重复一项先前在另一个欧洲国家证明有效的促进体育活动的复杂干预措施效果的研究项目。
