Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Physical Activity Intervention
The Physical Activity Intervention Group will receive guidance on being physically active, including aerobics, flexibility, balance, strength, and decreased sedentary time. The primary resource is the National Institute of Aging Go4Life exercise and physical activity materials. The materials are based on the United States national guidelines for physical activity for older adults
Physical Activity
The PA intervention will consist of a multimodal activity program of aerobics, balance, strength, flexibility. The intervention will involve encouraging participants to increase all forms of PA throughout the day and to decrease sedentary time, such as sitting. This may include activities such as leisure sports, gardening, use of stairs instead of escalators, leisurely walks with friends, and less use of remote control devices.The intervention is conducted primarily by mail with website support and resources available.
