Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the expanded study is to examine the effectiveness of a "Stand Up and Move More" intervention to reduce sedentary behavior in older adults from underserved communities.

Description:

Based on successful pilot research in Rock County, WI, and the receipt of funding from the National Institutes of Health, the investigators expanded research to additional counties in Wisconsin for a total of four counties (i.e., Dane, Iowa, Rock, and Vilas counties). Sample size will increase and participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group (Stand Up and Move More group) or a wait-list control group (who receive the intervention after 12 weeks). The Stand Up and Move More intervention/workshop involves sessions once/week for four weeks with a refresher session at 8 weeks. Assessments will be conducted before the intervention/workshop begins, and then again at 4 weeks and 12 weeks. We have added several questionnaires to examine potential mediators of behavior change (e.g., self-efficacy, self-regulation, outcome expectancies).

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Total Sedentary Time Per Day	Participants wore monitors during the day to assess total sitting time/day	Baseline, 4 weeks, 12 weeks
Secondary	Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Score	The SPPB is an assessment of physical limitations. It combines scores from a balance test, gait speed test, and a chair stand test. The total possible range of scores is 1-12, higher scores indicate better function/less functional limitations.	Baseline, 4 weeks, 12 weeks
