Recruitment & Eligibility

• Status: Completed
• Sex: All
• Target Recruitment: 120

Inclusion Criteria

All participants will be recruited from an elective non-admitted outpatient clinic in Bendigo Health; only non-admitted patients are eligible for participation in this study.

Study participants will be required to be fluent in conversational English, and to self-report as insufficiently physically active (not participating thirty minutes or more of moderate physical activity on at least five days a week; 150 mins/week).

Interested participants will be required to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). The PAR-Q offers a safe preliminary screening of candidates for exercise testing and prescription. If a participant answers ‘yes’ to one or more questions then they will be required to speak to their doctor regarding the intervention, and the amount of physical activity that they should perform. Clearance to participate from their doctor must be presented to the research team. The use of the PAR-Q as a screening tool is part of duty of care to the participants. The PAR-Q must be completed before any participant attends a briefing session

Exclusion Criteria

The following exclusion criteria will apply: under 18 years and over 69 years; poor comprehension of English language; too physically active (participating in more than thirty minutes of moderate physical activity on at least five days a week); deaf/hearing impaired; disabling neurological disorder; severe mental illness such as psychosis, learning disability, dementia and cognitive impairment; registered blind; housebound or resident in nursing home; unable to move about independently or not ambulatory; pregnancy; advanced cancer.

Patients who are categorised as a Category 1 in the hospital surgical wait-list may expect to undergo their surgical procedure within thirty days. For this reason individuals categorised as a Category 1 in the hospital surgical wait-list will be excluded.
