Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Increasing lifespan elevates disability risk, impacting quality of life and healthcare costs.
  • Physical activity interventions show promise in reducing age-related disability.
  • A cost-effective strategy for long-term physical activity behavior change in older adults is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test the feasibility and acceptability of a new theory-driven behavioral intervention designed to increase physical activity in older adults at risk of disability.
  • To assess the potential of the intervention to reduce disability and enhance quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving 60 inactive adults aged 65+ at risk of disability (Short Physical Performance Battery score <10/12).
  • Participants randomized 2:1 to an intervention group (Physical Activity Facilitator sessions based on self-determination theory) or a control group (healthy aging booklet).
  • Primary outcomes include recruitment, adherence, retention, and acceptability, with secondary data on physical activity, performance, mental health, and quality of life.

Main Results:

  • Pilot study data collection ongoing; primary results focus on feasibility and acceptability metrics.
  • Secondary data will inform the intervention's potential impact on physical activity, physical performance, and quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • The developed intervention holds potential for reducing disability and improving quality of life in older adults.
  • A full-scale trial requires evidence of intervention feasibility, acceptability, and promise from this pilot study.
