Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the implementation of an online tele-coaching community-based exercise (CBE) intervention with adults living with HIV.

Detailed Description

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

Investigators will use the RE-AIM (Reach-Effectiveness-Adoption-Implementation-Maintenance) Framework to evaluate the tele-coaching CBE intervention. The RE-AIM Framework includes criteria to evaluate the impact and translation of an intervention at both individual and organizational levels in order to promote uptake, transferability and ultimate enhance the impact of health promotion interventions.

Specific study objectives are: 1) To determine the extent (proportion of sessions attended, frequency, intensity, time, type) to which adults living with HIV participate in the intervention (Reach); 2) To assess the impact of the intervention on physical activity, health, and engagement in the care cascade (Effectiveness); 3) To assess engagement in exercise for adults living with HIV over time (physical activity, adherence) (Maintenance); and 4) To evaluate the a) process (strengths, challenges, accessibility, cost, fidelity) and b) feasibility of sustainability of the implementation, from the perspective of adults living with HIV, representatives of community-based organizations (CBOs), health and fitness centres, health providers, and policy stakeholders to build capacity, products, and considerations for broader implementation (Implementation and Adoption).

Investigators will conduct a prospective longitudinal mixed methods intervention study to evaluate the implementation of an innovative online tele-coaching CBE intervention with adults living with HIV. They will use a combination of quantitative (self-reported questionnaires, fitness assessments) to assess outcomes bimonthly during the tele-coaching CBE intervention (6 months) and during a follow-up monitoring phase (6 months) to evaluate the short and long term impact of online CBE. Investigators will use a qualitative longitudinal design using interviews to assess processes and outcomes at baseline (0 months), post-intervention (6 months) and post-follow-up (12 months).

Study Groups

Tele-Coaching (Online) Community-Based Exercise

This study involves two phases: a six month online Community-Based Exercise Intervention (Phase 1), followed by a six month Follow-Up Monitoring Phase (Phase 2).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tele-Coaching (Online) Community-Based Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

PHASE 1-Intervention Phase (6 months): Participants will engage in an individual tailored home-based exercise program involving aerobic, resistance, balance and flexibility training \~60min, 3 times per week for 24 weeks. Intervention will include: Component 1) biweekly 60 min personal online coaching with a certified trainer from the YMCA (13 sessions) who will monitor and progress exercise intensity; Component 2) weekly online group-based exercise classes \~60 min each led by a trainer at YMCA; Component 3) monthly online evidence-based self-management education sessions focused on topics related to self-management and health, and physical activity living with HIV; and Component 4) a wireless physical activity monitor (WPAM) to self-monitor steps, distance, calories burned, and active minutes.

PHASE 2: Post-Intervention (6 months): Participants will be encouraged to continue with unsupervised home / outdoor-based exercise 3 times per week and to continue using their WPAM throughout.
