The Men on the Move Study is a randomized, controlled, feasibility study designed to address the health problem of physical inactivity in older men.
Men on the Move is a randomized, controlled, feasibility study to provide preliminary evidence of feasibility and efficacy for promoting mobility through the uptake of physical activity among men aged 65 years and older who are physically inactive. Specifically, Men on the Move will evaluate the effects of a choice-based physical activity model paired with an active transportation model. The choice-based physical activity model encourages older men to use existing community-based resources to create and implement actions plans for physical activity. It also provides ongoing face-to-face and telephone-based support from trained activity coaches. The active transportation model provides transit passes and active travel planning to promote use of transit and walking to destinations of interest. The feasibility of delivering the intervention will be assessed. Accelerometry and travel diaries will be used to measure the effects of the intervention on physical activity.
317 studies on the registry are indexed under Mobility Limitation; 97 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 58 is above the median of 46 across 265 interventional studies indexed under Mobility Limitation.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will meet one-on-one with an activity coach to develop a choice-based physical activity and active transportation plan based on their interest, abilities, and resources; attend group-based motivational meetings; and receive ongoing support and encouragement for physical activity and active transportation (e.g., telephone-assisted support, community centre and transit passes).
Behavioral: Choice-Based Physical Activity and Active Transportation
Participants will be offered the Choice-Based Physical Activity and Active Transportation intervention after the experimental arm has completed the study.
