简要总结
Physical activity is an important determinant of health and well-being in older people. However, many older people do not achieve recommended physical activity levels and increasing older people's physical activity is challenging. This preliminary study will explore the effects of a brief physical activity intervention on physical activity and physical function in older people with multimorbidity. The findings will be used to inform the design of a subsequent adequately-powered randomised controlled trial.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention
Brief physical activity intervention including an initial 45-minute physical activity consultation, telephone support after 2 weeks (approx. 15-minute call), and provision of a pedometer, written information, and a physical activity diary. Embedded behaviour change techniques will include goal setting, self-monitoring, building self-efficacy and social support, and overcoming barriers.
干预措施: Brief physical activity intervention (Behavioral)
Wait-list control
The control group will not receive any active or placebo intervention during the 4-week study period. They will also not receive any trial contacts during this period. They will however continue to be able to access their usual care from primary, secondary, community, and social services. After the final (4-week) follow-up assessment, this group will receive the full physical activity intervention.
