Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new phone and mail based coachingsupport program that has been developed is more effective in helping people stay physically active than existing programs that are currently available to all HealthPartners members We hypothesize that the intervention program will lead to a greater likelihood of physical activity maintenance among moderately active older adults than a usual care condition
Detailed Description:
The benefits of physical activity for adults are well established but less than one-third of older adults in the US have achieved recommended levels of physical activity despite widespread clinical recommendations to increase physical activity in recent years Clinic-based approaches to increasing physical activity are expensive difficult to implement in busy practice settings and have limited reach Moreover evidence of the efficacy of such approaches is equivocal A population based approach may be a more effective and less costly strategy to increase levels of physical activity in older adults Population studies of physical activity have demonstrated that each year many sedentary older adults initiate physical activity but a nearly equal number of those who were active become sedentary Among older adults initiating physical activity only half continue to be active 3 months later
We hypothesize that a population based approach that emphasizes physical activity maintenance can substantially increase physical activity levels in a defined populations of older adults This hypothesis is tested in a 24-month randomized trial evaluating an innovative theory-based behavioral intervention to maintain physical activity in a random sample of 50-70 year old adults who have recently become at least moderately active One thousand 1000 subjects will be randomized to one of two experimental groups 1 a usual care control group and 2 an interactive phone- and mail-based intervention program tailored to maintaining physical activity in older adults The primary outcome measures are 1 physical activity assessed as kcalswk expenditure and 2 physical activity maintenance assessed as follow-up kcalswk expenditure relative to baseline Careful measurement of the penetration of the intervention into a well characterized older adult population and the costs of the intervention will be assessed Psychosocial and behavioral mediators of physical activity maintenance will also be examined
Study results will be relevant to policy makers health promotion practitioners and health plans and will provide practical information on the effectiveness population penetration and costs of an intervention designed to maximize population levels of physical activity among older adults
