Not Applicable

Completed

Conditions: Sedentary Behavior

Registration Number: NCT05966506

Lead Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of a peer-based dyadic social support health coaching physical activity (PA) intervention in inactive South Asian Indian (SAI) and to explore preliminary effects of the intervention on intermediate outcomes: self-reported and objective moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), social support, and self-efficacy .

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Physical Activity (PA) as Assessed by the Modified Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire	Baseline, 12 weeks	A modified version of the validated Leisure Score Index from the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ) was used to assess episodes, intensity, and duration of PA during a typical 7-day period within the past month. The modified GLTEQ asked the participants to recall the amount of time spent in strenuous, moderate, and mild physical activity for each day over seven days. Time spent in moderate and strenuous physical activity was summed to calculate minutes of moderate-to-vigorous activity from the modified GLTEQ. Responses to the GLTEQ at each of the study assessments were converted to estimated weekly metabolic equivalent (METS). Responses on the LTEQ were converted into estimated weekly METS using a slightly modified version of the formula used by the developers of the GLTEQ: \[(total METS = minutes of strenuous exercise / 15) × 9\] + \[(total minutes of moderate exercise / 15) × 5\] + \[(total minutes of light exercise / 15) × 3\].
Physical Activity as Assessed by the Average Steps Per Day Measured Via Fitbit	Baseline, 12 weeks	The average steps per day will be reported.
Physical Activity-related Social Support as Assessed by the Social Support for Physical Activity Survey (Self Support Subscale)	Baseline, 12 weeks	The Social Support for Physical Activity survey assess the level of support for exercising from both the individual (self) and their study partner. All participants completed both subscales: self-support subscale and study partner support subscale. The survey consists of two subscales: self-support and study partner support. Each subscale total score ranges from 13 to 104, with higher scores indicating greater social support. The self support subscale is reported.
Self-efficacy for Physical Activity as Assessed by the Self-efficacy for Physical Activity (SEPA) Scale	Baseline, 12 weeks	The Self-efficacy for physical activity scale total score ranges from 5 to 25, a higher score indicating more confidence in one's ability to engage in physical activity
Physical Activity-related Social Support as Assessed by the Social Support for Physical Activity Survey (Study Partner Subscale)	Baseline, 12 weeks	The Social Support for Physical Activity survey assess the level of support for exercising from both the individual (self) and their study partner. All participants completed both subscales: self-support subscale and study partner support subscale. Each subscale total score ranges from 13 to 104, with higher scores indicating greater social support. The study partner support subscale is reported.
Physical Activity Related Autonomy Support as Assessed by the Climate Questionnaire (Autonomy Support - Study Partner Subscale)	Baseline, 12 weeks	The Climate questionnaire (autonomy support) asses the level of autonomy support provided by both the individual (self) and their study partner. All participants completed both subscales: self-support and study partner support. The study partner subscale is a 6 item questionnaire and each is scored from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). The sum of the 6 items were divided by 6, to generate a scale from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating greater autonomy support. The study partner subscale is reported.
Physical Activity Related Autonomy Support as Assessed by the Climate Questionnaire (Autonomy Support - Self Support Subscale)	Baseline, 12 weeks	The Climate questionnaire (autonomy support) asses the level of autonomy support provided by both the individual (self) and their study partner. All participants completed both subscales: self-support and study partner support. The self support subscale is a 6 item questionnaire and each is scored from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). The sum of the 6 items were divided by 6, to generate a scale from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating greater autonomy support. The self support subscale reported.
Cognitive Impairment as Measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)	12 weeks	Total score on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) range from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.
