This was a parallel, two-arm, randomized controlled trial, single-blind allocation to experimental and control groups. The sample consisted of 91 individuals (46 experimental and 45 control groups) aged 45 years or older, and had internet access. Intervention group received customized activities focused on raising awareness and knowledge provision for 8 weeks. Out of 91 participants, 82 completed the study (41 in each group). Comparison of Mean Difference values within groups found a significant difference at P <.05 (t = 2.294). The experimental group increased their PA by 7.2 min on average, while the control group decreased to 44.1 min. Subgroup that fully complied with the activity process had a significantly higher percentage of adequate PA at P =.01 level (χ 2 = 7.853**). Tailoring activity content to older adults' diverse lifestyles via a Mobile Health application can effectively boost PA levels by meeting their needs conveniently and quickly.
