GETActiveHIT Trial Summary
This trial aims to see if using guided imagery can help motivate middle-aged adults to exercise more. Participants will undergo various tests before, during, and after a 6-week exercise program to assess the impact
Who is the study for?
This trial is for mid-life adults who speak English, can use a phone, have normal vision and hearing (with aids if needed), can walk without help, are not very active physically, and can safely do some exercise. They must be able to understand the study and agree to participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if imagining future events or positive images makes people more excited about exercising. It includes high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts over six weeks with mental exercises like thinking about the future or happy thoughts.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a behavioral trial focusing on exercise and imagery techniques rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue.

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Episodic Recent Thinking (ERT) + Positive Affective Imagery (PAI)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Assigned guided imagery will be delivered during each exercise session throughout the 6-week exercise program. The guided imagery recordings will be delivered via audio recording during warm-up and cool-down periods during in-lab exercise sessions. The ERT will always be delivered during warm-up and the PAI will always be delivered during cool-down.
Group II: Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) + Positive Affective Imagery (PAI)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Assigned guided imagery will be delivered during each exercise session throughout the 6-week exercise program. The guided imagery recordings will be delivered via audio recording during warm-up and cool-down periods during in-lab exercise sessions. The EFT will always be delivered during warm-up and the PAI will always be delivered during cool-down.
Group III: Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) + Neutral Affective Imagery (NAI)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Assigned guided imagery will be delivered during each exercise session throughout the 6-week exercise program. The guided imagery recordings will be delivered via audio recording during warm-up and cool-down periods during in-lab exercise sessions. The EFT will always be delivered during warm-up and the NAI will always be delivered during cool-down.
Group IV: Episodic Recent Thinking (ERT) + Neutral Affective Imagery (NAI)Active Control3 Interventions
Assigned guided imagery will be delivered during each exercise session throughout the 6-week exercise program. The guided imagery recordings will be delivered via audio recording during warm-up and cool-down periods during in-lab exercise sessions. The ERT will always be delivered during warm-up and the NAI will always be delivered during cool-down.
