Trial Outcomes & Findings for Daily Activity Study of Health: Increasing Physical Activity in Aging (NCT NCT04315363)

NCT ID: NCT04315363

Last Updated: 2024-02-29

Results Overview

This metric quantifies the change in the average amount of time spent sedentary each day in hours, from the baseline period to the 6-week follow-up period. It is a marker of time spent inactive.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline; 6-week

Population: The number of average daily hours spent sedentary after the intervention compared to the pre-intervention baseline.

This metric quantifies the change in the average amount of time spent sedentary each day in hours, from the baseline period to the 6-week follow-up period. It is a marker of time spent inactive.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline; 6-week

Population: The change in average number of daily minutes spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity after the intervention compared to the pre-intervention baseline.

This measure focuses on the change in average moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) daily minutes after the intervention compared to the pre-intervention average MVPA baseline.
