Study Summary
The objective of this pilot study is to quantify patterns of activity and sedentary behavior in independent living residents and to collect preliminary data on the feasibility of reducing sedentary behavior using a 12-week, behavioral intervention in older adults. We will also measure the effects of reducing sedentary behavior on physical function, sleep, quality of life, energy/mood, pain and blood pressure. Participants will act as their own controls through the use of a double baseline period to examine stability of the physical activity and outcome measures.
Primary Outcome
Objectively measured minutes of sitting during waking hours measured using the ActivPAL physical activity monitor for a minimum of 5 days pre and post-intervention. The ActivPAL is a thigh-mounted, compact device that classifies an individual's free-living activity into time spent in sedentary, standing, and walking behaviors.
