Overview
Brief Summary
This is a pilot trial of a 16-week physical activity and power training program among up to 30 Veterans/arm with advanced chronic kidney disease. The trial aims to test whether the program is tolerable to Veterans.
Detailed Description
This will be a randomized controlled pilot trial of a 16-week physical activity and power training intervention trial among up to 30 pre-frail Veterans with Stage 3B-5 chronic kidney disease. The intervention will contain in-center and at-home components. It will lay the foundation for a large-scale future randomized controlled efficacy trial aimed to reduce frailty risk among Veterans with advanced chronic kidney disease. Up to 30 other Veterans will be part of an attention control. The outcomes of this pilot trial are feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity. Each of these outcomes will be measured using quantitative surveys and data review as well as qualitative assessments among Veterans at trial close. As this is a pilot feasibility trial, it is intentionally not powered to detect whether the intervention has a significant effect on physical activity frequency, muscle strength, or physical frailty.

Arms & Interventions
Power training and monitored physical activity
This is a 16-week power-training and physical activity-focused intervention that contains in-center and at-home components and motivational coaching. Participants will meet 2-3 times per week for the in-center power training. Participants will also be asked to wear accelerometers at home in order for their physical activity frequency to be measured.
Intervention: Pro-social Power training Activity for Aging and Well-being with Chronic Kidney Disease
Attention control
This will be the attention control arm that will involve receipt of a physical activity education booklet, use of an accelerometer, and weekly check-in calls. No power training or motivational coaching will be delivered.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Feasibility, as measured by a numerical percentage of all participants who consented out of those eligible
Time Frame: 4 months
This will be a numeric percentage of participants who consent for the pilot trial out of all eligible participants in Aim 1. This will not be aggregated with any other measure.
Feasibility, as measured by a qualitative description of participants' reasons for declining
Time Frame: 4 months
This will be a qualitative description of potential participants' reasons for declining, if applicable. This will not be aggregated with any other measure.
Feasibility, as measured by the questionnaire, the Feasibility of Intervention Measure
Time Frame: 4 months
This will be a brief questionnaire known as the Feasibility of Intervention Measure, that asks participants whether the intervention seems doable to them. There are four questions, and participants are asked to rate intervention feasibility from a scale of 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 5 (Strongly Agree). Scores range from 1-5 and are calculated as the mean of all scores. Higher scores indicate greater perceived feasibility. This will not be aggregated with any other measure.
