Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Men on the Move is a randomized, controlled, feasibility study to provide preliminary evidence of feasibility and efficacy for promoting mobility through the uptake of physical activity among men aged 65 years and older who are physically inactive. Specifically, Men on the Move will evaluate the effects of a choice-based physical activity model paired with an active transportation model. The choice-based physical activity model encourages older men to use existing community-based resources to create and implement actions plans for physical activity. It also provides ongoing face-to-face and telephone-based support from trained activity coaches. The active transportation model provides transit passes and active travel planning to promote use of transit and walking to destinations of interest. The feasibility of delivering the intervention will be assessed. Accelerometry and travel diaries will be used to measure the effects of the intervention on physical activity.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Choice-Based Physical Activity and Active Transportation

Participants will meet one-on-one with an activity coach to develop a choice-based physical activity and active transportation plan based on their interest, abilities, and resources; attend group-based motivational meetings; and receive ongoing support and encouragement for physical activity and active transportation (e.g., telephone-assisted support, community centre and transit passes).
