The Move for Your Health Pilot Study
- Conditions
- Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT03632694
- Lead Sponsor
- Cindy Blair, PhD, MPH
- Brief Summary
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.
- Detailed Description
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.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in the number of breaks in sedentary time Baseline to 16-weeks 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
Change in total volume of sedentary time (hours/day) Baseline to 16-weeks 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
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in cardiometabolic markers Baseline to 16-weeks Change in fasting glucose, insulin and lipids, as well as high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Change in light physical activity Baseline to 16-weeks 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
Change in steps per day Baseline to 16-weeks 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
Change in physical functioning (ranging from basic to strenuous activities) Baseline to 16-weeks 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)
Change in physical performance Baseline to 16-weeks 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)
Change in health-related quality of life (self-reported mental, physical, and social health and well-being) Baseline to 16-weeks 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)
