An interventional study of Health Coaching and Tech Support and Tech Support Only in Cancer, sponsored by Cindy Blair, PhD, MPH. Completed. Open to participants aged 60 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-08-15.
Sponsored by Cindy Blair, PhD, MPH · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
The Move for Your Health Pilot Study is a 16-week study in older cancer survivors to replace and break-up sedentary activity with short bouts of light physical activity.
This pilot study will determine the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile health (mHealth) intervention to replace and break-up sedentary time with intermittent bouts of light physical activity. The intervention uses an electronic activity monitor ("Jawbone UP2"; worn on the wrist) that pairs with a mobile app, which together promote awareness and enable self-monitoring of both physical activity (steps per day) and inactivity (wristband gently vibrates after a specified time of inactivity). Pre-post intervention change in objective, subjective, and biologic data will be compared between groups.
This is the only study on the registry with Cindy Blair, PhD, MPH as lead sponsor.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants receive tech support for using the "Jawbone UP2" activity monitor and smartphone app, and education materials and health coaching to achieve their goals to reduce sedentary time and increase their daily steps.
Behavioral: Health Coaching and Tech Support
Participants receive tech support for using the "Jawbone UP2" activity monitor and smartphone app and education materials on reducing sedentary behavior.
Behavioral: Tech Support Only
Participants are instructed to maintain their regular activities. Upon completion of the 16-week intervention, participants receive the "Jawbone UP2" activity monitor, education materials, and one session of tech support/health coaching.
Participants will receive a "Jawbone UP2" activity monitor and education materials about the negative consequences of sedentary behavior and suggestions for breaking up sedentary time with light physical activity. Participants receive 5 telephone coaching calls to set up the "Jawbone UP2" monitor with their smartphone app and receive tech support help with changing the settings/goals on the app. Additionally, this arm receives health coaching to provide encouragement and further motivate and help study participants to modify their sedentary behavior.

Change in total volume of sedentary time (hours/day)
Change in the average number of hours/day of sedentary time measured over a 1-week period using activPAL, at both baseline and 16-weeks post-intervention
Time frame: Baseline to 16-weeks
Change in the number of breaks in sedentary time
Change in the average number of breaks in sedentary time measured over a 1-week period using activPAL, at both baseline and 16-weeks post-intervention
Time frame: Baseline to 16-weeks
Change in light physical activity
Change in the average number of hours per day spent in light physical activity (or higher intensity) measured over a 1-week period using activPAL, at both baseline and 16-weeks post-intervention
Time frame: Baseline to 16-weeks
Change in steps per day
Change in the average number of steps per day measured over a 1-week period using activPAL, at both baseline and 16-weeks post-intervention
Time frame: Baseline to 16-weeks
Change in physical performance
Change in the average physical performance score as measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). This performance battery includes chair stands, balance tests, and the 8-foot usual gait speed. Each subscale score ranges from 0 (cannot do) to 4 (good performance). The subscales are summed for a total score, which ranges from 0 (lowest level of performance) to 12 (highest level of performance)
Time frame: Baseline to 16-weeks
Change in physical functioning (ranging from basic to strenuous activities)
Change in self-reported physical functioning as measured by the 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36) physical functioning subscale. Raw scores range from 0 (worst functioning) to 100 (best functioning)
Time frame: Baseline to 16-weeks
Change in health-related quality of life (self-reported mental, physical, and social health and well-being)
Change in quality of life as measured by the SF-36; each of the 8 subscales and 2 component summary scores; scores based on proprietary algorithm from Optum; higher scores represent better quality of life)
Time frame: Baseline to 16-weeks
Change in cardiometabolic markers
Change in fasting glucose, insulin and lipids, as well as high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Time frame: Baseline to 16-weeks
