Arms & Interventions
Additional Follow-up
In addition to receiving an ActiGraph activity monitor, participants will complete weekly phone/zoom calls with research staff for a more in-depth monitoring of their activity level.
Intervention: Phone/zoom calls
Activity Level Monitoring
Participants receive an ActiGraph activity monitor to track their activity level over a 6-week period.
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Physical function
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6 weeks
Participants will complete a 60-foot walk test and 30-second chair stand test.
Sit to stand transitions
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6 weeks
Participants will wear activity monitors for the duration of the study. The monitors will keep track of every time a participant goes from sitting to standing and vice versa.
Health Related Quality of life
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6 weeks
Participants will complete the Medical Outcomes Survey, Short Form-36
Sedentary time
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6 weeks
Participants will wear activity monitors for the duration of the study. Sedentary time is operationalized as any recorded waking time spent sitting or lying down.
Self-report physical activity
Time Frame: Change from baseline to 6 weeks
Participants will complete the Modified International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form
Secondary Outcomes
- Psychological distress(Change from baseline to 6 weeks)
- Weight Stigma measure 3(Change from baseline to 6 weeks)
- Pain perception measure 1(Change from baseline to 6 weeks)
- Weight Stigma measure 2(Change from baseline to 6 weeks)
- Perceived stress(Change from baseline to 6 weeks)
- Pain perception measure 2(Change from baseline to 6 weeks)
- Weight Stigma measure 1(Change from baseline to 6 weeks)
- Insomnia(Change from baseline to 6 weeks)
- Sleep quality(Change from baseline to 6 weeks)
