- Figure 1. Examples of personalised feedback shown to participants. From left to right: health target attainment represented by traffic light colours across the five important health dimensions in a sliding scale format; a single day activity pattern colour graded by activity intensity; summary bar charts depicting the proportion of a given day spent in each intensity threshold and its resulting calorie expenditure

METs = metabolic equivelent of task. MVPA = moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity. HCP = healthcare professional. NS = not significantly different between groups. PAL = physical activity level.
