Experimental Treatment

Group I: Research ParticipantsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants will be asked to complete up to 2 semi-structured interviews following completion of the 12-week multicomponent intervention. The first interview will occur within 3 weeks of program completion (by week 15 for Group 1 and by week 27 for Group 2). The second interview will occur between 3 to 6 months after the first interview.

Group II: Multicomponent Telehealth Intervention (Group1)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions

This group will be randomized to receive the 12-week multicomponent intervention first. They will receive individual physical therapy sessions, group physical therapy sessions, and biobehavioral interventions emphasizing program engagement and increased daily physical activity. Most interventions will be provided synchronously through videoconferencing. Each participant will receive an individualized home exercise program.

Group III: Education (Group2)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions

This group will be randomized to 12-week waitlist control condition. They will receive a one-hour education session every 2 weeks (6 sessions total) on general health topics (e.g., basic nutrition, stress reduction, sleep hygiene). At the end of 12 weeks, they will transition to the 12-week multicomponent intervention
