Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: Completed
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 993

Inclusion Criteria

1. Patients aged 45-74 years registered at one of the six general practices within the South West London cluster of primary care trusts (PCTs) where the research is being undertaken
2. Able to walk outside the home and with no contraindications to increasing their moderate intensity physical activity levels

Exclusion Criteria

1. Those reporting achieving the Chief Medical Officers' guidelines of at least 150 minutes of at least moderate intensity physical activity weekly. We anticipate that there will be a few participants who will be found on subsequent baseline accelerometer assessment to be above this level of physical activity (our previous pilot work suggests this number will be small as most people tend to overestimate their physical activity levels). They will not be excluded from the study, as this is a pragmatic trial and if this intervention were to be rolled out, exclusion would be on the basis of the screening question alone.
2. Liiving in a residential or nursing home
3. Housebound
4. Three or more falls in previous year or one or more fall in previous year requiring medical attention
5. Terminal illness
6. Dementia or significant cognitive impairment (unable to follow simple instructions)
7. Registered blind
8. New onset chest pain
9. Myocardial infarction
10. Coronary artery bypass graft or angioplasty within the last 3 months
11. Medical or psychiatric condition which the general practitioner (GP) considers excludes the patient (e.g. acute systemic illness such as pneumonia, acute rheumatoid arthritis, unstable or acute heart failure, significant neurological disease or impairment, unable to move about independently, psychotic illness)
12. Pregnant women
