Brief Summary:
Students at the age of 14-16 years will be randomized to one intervention arm or one control arm in a 11 ratio Participants of both groups receive a fitness tracker to count the amount of their steps taken The participants of the intervention arm will commit themselves to a personal goal of steps taken by means of a commitment contract Achievement of the goal will be rewarded with financial incentives to fulfill the requirements of proper reward medium according to the Induced Value Theory Smith 1976
The duration of the intervention will be 1 year incentives are provided for 6 months the remaining 6 months are the follow-up period
The hypothesis is that intensified motivational strategies like the provision of commitment contracts and nudges are effective in increasing the number of steps taken per month compared to a control group

Detailed Description:
Adolescents age 14 to 16 years visiting schools throughout Tyrol Austria will be randomized to one intervention arm or a control arm on a class-wise level in a 11 ratio Participants will be invited by the Department of Education in Tyrol and schools will be contacted directly At the baseline examination cardiovascular risk profiles including laboratory analysis anthropometry a standardized medical interview and blood pressure bioelectrical impedance and pulse-wave velocity measurements are determined and results are communicated in an individual discussion of results
Afterwards participants of both groups receive a fitness tracker to count the amount of their steps taken The participants of the intervention arm will commit themselves to a personal goal of steps taken by means of a commitment contract Achievement of the goal will be rewarded with financial incentives to fulfill the requirements of proper reward medium according to the Induced Value Theory Smith 1976 and nudges reminders will be provided to increase motivation
The duration of the intervention will be 1 year incentives are provided for 6 months the remaining 6 months are the follow-up period After 1 year a follow-up examination will be conducted Economic experiments on time and risk preferences are furthermore carried out at baseline
