The individually tailored, internet-based and SMS text messaging–based Hombres Saludables PA intervention demonstrated feasibility and acceptability with promising results for increasing MVPA among Latino men. Thus, a future, fully powered RCT is warranted. This technology-based PA intervention provides a potentially scalable approach that could improve PA and health in a population that is disproportionately affected by low PA and related chronic diseases. Future interventions should consider adding components to address neighborhood safety, including spouses or other family members, and involving more interaction with other participants. Future studies should also consider offering the intervention in both English and Spanish to reach Latino men with a wide range of acculturation levels, adding nutrition content, exploring mediation, and conducting implementing studies to determine the most effective intervention components.The study reported in this paper was supported by the National Heart, Lung, And Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health under award R34HL129067.
