Face to face session: 5.1 Information about health consequences** (PA, sedentary behaviour)

JITAI:1.1 Goal setting (behaviour)** (PA)1.4 Action planning** (PA)

1.6 Discrepancy between current behaviour and goal* (PA)

2.2 Feedback on behaviour** (PA)

7.1 Prompts/cues** (PA)

10.4 Social reward** (PA)

Final face-to-face visit:2.2 Feedback on behaviour** (PA)

No comparison arm.

The three intervention arms differed in terms of content of the action plan and when the prompt was sent, so BCTs were identical across the intervention arms.
