This randomized controlled trial evaluated a web-based mindfulness, nutrition, and fitness program (My Viva Plan) among 97 first-year university students. The intervention did not significantly improve perceived stress, diet quality, or body composition, largely attributed to low participant engagement with the platform.
This randomized controlled trial enrolled 97 first-year university students to evaluate the My Viva Plan (MVP) web-based intervention. Outcomes measured at 6 and 12 weeks included perceived stress, diet quality, and body composition. The per-protocol analysis (n=80) found no significant differences between groups in stress indicators (physical, sleep, behavioral, emotional, personal habits), diet quality score, or body composition metrics like weight and BMI. A subgroup analysis showed a decrease in body fat among women in the MVP group (-1.2 ± 2.6 kg, p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between intervention and control groups for this measure. A key limitation was very low engagement; 50% of the MVP group did not access the platform.
