Study Summary

This trial tests if health coaching can help older adults with limited mobility be more active.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults with limited mobility who can walk 400 meters in under 15 minutes using a cane if needed, score well on mental and physical assessments, and don't have dementia. Participants should be living independently, able to consent, and not currently doing moderate exercise.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two programs: one where participants receive health coaching aimed at increasing their physical activity levels versus another where they get general health education. The effectiveness of these interventions on improving mobility is being tested.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve increased physical activity through coaching or education without medications or invasive procedures, side effects may include muscle soreness or fatigue due to new exercises. However, serious side effects are unlikely.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Health Coaching (HC)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
The health coaching program will be delivered by trained and certified kinesiologists utilizing Brief Action Planning (BAP) principals. The BAP behavior change approach utilizes the following 4 techniques: 1) goal-setting; 2 )action planning; 3) self-monitoring; and 4) feedback. Participants will utilize daily physical activity diaries to enable self-monitoring, and BAP coaches will provide feedback on progress toward individualized physical activity goals.
Group II: Health Education Program (ED)Active Control1 Intervention
This program is an attention control group, which consists of general health education. Education sessions will be delivered either by zoom or in person. The education sessions will cover the following topics: 1) falls prevention; 2) sleep; 3) healthy eating; 4) cognitive health; and 5) mental and emotional health.
