Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
PARTICIPANTS: The effects of the interventions are evaluated among dyads of two adults (partner-partner dyads). Adults forming dyads (e.g. two romantic partners, two relatives, two co-workers, two friends) who are in regular contact for at least one year will be enrolled. A minimum of 50 dyads enrolled into the each arm of the trial (a total of 200 dyads). The interventions consist of six planning sessions.
DESIGN: The dyads are randomly assigned to one of four experimental conditions. The assessment of the main and secondary outcomes is conducted at the baseline, at 1 week after the first intervention session, at post-intervention (after six intervention sessions are completed), and at 6-, and 12-month follow-ups.
OUTCOMES: Physical activity constitutes the main outcome, whereas health-related quality of life (HRQOL), body mass index, and sedentary behavior as well as the self-regulatory strategy called the use of planning (individual, dyadic and collaborative) are secondary outcomes.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study will evaluate the effects of a short-term planning intervention. The intervention includes a total of six sessions: two face-to-face sessions with the experimenter (delivered over two weeks) and three sessions delivered over phone (over the following three weeks), one face-two-face session (delivered at one month after the third session delivered over the phone). The delivery has an individual format (the experimenter + the dyad). The total time from first to sixth session is 2 months. The setting for the interventions will include physician's offices and participant's home. The same format, schedule, delivery, and setting will be used for conducting active control group procedures.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Individual Planning
The planning materials and forms have sections: (a) information on the importance of planning, including examples of how planning works and what it affects, (b) instructions of what should be included in a good plan (the when, where, and how components), (c) formulating action and coping plans.
Action plans (referring to when, when, and how the individual will act) as well as coping plans (referring to how to overcome potential difficulties, risky situations or temptations to not engage in physical activity) will be formed. Each participant will form their plans individually, without consulting the dyadic partner, but discussing the plans with the experimenter.
Individual Planning
Participants are filling in the planning forms, referring to their individual physical activity. Both members of the dyad form their own, interdependent plans.
The following behavior change techniques (BCT) are included in the planning intervention protocol: action planning, barrier identification, prompting self-talk, relapse prevention/coping planning. Applications of all BCT included references to planning.
Education
The education group participants receive extended physical activity and healthy nutrition education program. The education includes: (1) the guidelines for physical activity and healthy nutrition, tailored to age and health status of the participants, (2) the examples of exercises and their metabolic equivalent; (3) information about healthy body mass and body composition.
Dyadic Planning
The planning materials and forms have sections: (a) information on the importance of planning, including examples of how planning works and what it affects, (b) instructions of what should be included in a good plan (the when, where, and how components), (c) formulating action and coping plans.
Action plans as well as coping plans will be formed. Both partners in the dyad jointly form one plan. This jointly developed plan is discussed with the experimenter.
The plan focuses on physical activity of only one person in the dyad. This target person will be selected jointly by the participants if both participants are healthy. If one participant has a chronic disease, e.g. diabetes or a cardiovascular disease, the plans are formed for the person with a disease.
Dyadic Planning
Participants are filling in the planning forms jointly. Planning refers to physical activity of only one person in the dyad. The other person in the dyad is actively participating in forming plans by the target person.
The following BCT are included in the planning intervention protocol: action planning, barrier identification, prompting self-talk, relapse prevention/ coping planning. Applications of all BCT included references to planning.
Education

The education includes: (1) the guidelines for physical activity and healthy nutrition, tailored to age and health status of the participants, (2) the examples of exercises and their metabolic equivalent; (3) information about healthy body mass and body composition.
Collaborative Planning
The planning materials and forms have sections: (a) information on the importance of planning, including examples of how planning works and what it affects, (b) instructions of what should be included in a good plan (the when, where, and how components), (c) formulating action and coping plans.
Action plans and coping plans will be formed. Both partners in the dyad jointly form one plan. This jointly developed plan is discussed with the experimenter.
The plan focuses on physical activity of both persons within the dyad (both partners) and include some plans for joint physical activity.
Collaborative Planning
Participants are filling in the planning forms jointly. Planning refers to physical activity of both persons in the dyad. Physical activity may be performed jointly by both persons in the dyad. The following BCT are included in the planning intervention protocol: action planning, barrier identification, prompting self-talk, relapse prevention/ coping planning. Applications of all BCT included references to planning.
Education
The education group participants receive extended physical activity and healthy nutrition education program. The education includes: (1) the guidelines for physical activity and healthy nutrition, tailored to age and health status of the participants, (2) the examples of exercises and their metabolic equivalent; (3) information about healthy body mass and body composition.
Education
The education materials address physical activity and healthy nutrition guidelines for age groups and chronic disease. Participants receive a set of educational materials about types of physical activity (PA), PA intensity, exercise calorie expenditure, strength and endurance training, stretching, and general nutrition guidelines in terms of meal composition, and nutrients, meal frequency. The materials exclude any planning statements. The education is delivered by the experimenter to a partner-partner dyad and discusses individual guidelines for both dyadic partners.
