Brief Summary

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

To test the efficacy of the 5R Shared Leadership program in older adults on participants' identification with their walking group, group cohesion, walking activity, and well-being, compared to a regular group walking program, the investigators conducted a cluster randomised trial.

Detailed Description

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

All walking groups participated in a 12-week structured group walking program. Half of these walking groups were randomly assigned to the intervention condition and received additionally the 5R Shared Leadership Program

Study Groups

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

A structured 12-week group walking program

Participants engaged in an evidence-based 12-week walking program.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

12-week structured walking program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants engaged in an evidence-based 12-week structured walking program, which aimed to enhance participants' physical activity and aerobic fitness levels based on personalised walking schedules and weekly group walks organised by the community-based meeting points.

A structured 12-week group walking program + 5RS

In addition to the 12-week group walking program, participants engaged in the 5R Shared Leadership Program, which implements a structure of shared leadership and strengthens the identity leadership skills of the appointed peer leaders.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

5R Shared Leadership Program

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The manualised 5RS program aims to develop the leadership qualities of peer leaders by teaching them how to create, embody, advance, and embed a collective sense of 'us' in their teams. More specifically, 5RS consists of two key components that involve (1) implementing a structure of shared leadership, and (2) strengthening the identity leadership skills of the appointed peer leaders (Fransen et al., 2020).
