BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes represent significant global health challenges, with physical activity (PA) being essential for disease management and prevention. Despite the well-documented benefits, many individuals with (pre)diabetes remain insufficiently active. General practitioners (GP) provide an accessible platform for delivering interventions; however, integrating PA interventions into routine care is hindered by resource constraints. OBJECTIVES: The ENERGISED trial aims to address these barriers through an innovative GP-initiated mHealth intervention combining wearable technology and just-in-time adaptive interventions. METHODS: The ENERGISED trial is a pragmatic, 12-month, multicentre, randomised controlled trial, assessing a GP-initiated mHealth intervention to increase PA and reduce sedentary behaviour in patients with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. The primary outcome is daily step count, assessed via wrist-worn accelerometry. The primary analysis follows the intention-to-treat principle, using mixed models for repeated measures. Missing data will be handled under the missing-at-random assumption, with sensitivity analyses exploring robustness through reference-based multiple imputation. The trial incorporates the estimand framework to provide transparent and structured treatment effect estimation. DISCUSSION: This statistical analysis plan outlines a robust approach to addressing participant non-adherence, protocol violations, and missing data. By adopting the estimand framework and pre-specified sensitivity analyses, the plan ensures methodological rigour while enhancing the interpretability and applicability of results. CONCLUSIONS: The ENERGISED trial leverages innovative mHealth strategies within primary care to promote PA in individuals with (pre)diabetes. The pre-specified statistical framework provides a comprehensive guide for analysing trial data and contributes to advancing best practices in behavioural intervention trials for public health.
