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.

Conditions

Cancer

Keywords

cancer survivor; cancer survivorship; light physical activity; sedentary behavior; mHealth; Jawbone

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change in total volume of sedentary time (hours/day)

  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

  Baseline to 16-weeks

• Change in the number of breaks in sedentary time

  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

  Baseline to 16-weeks

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Change in light physical activity

  Baseline to 16-weeks

• Change in steps per day

  Baseline to 16-weeks

• Change in physical performance

  Baseline to 16-weeks

• Change in physical functioning (ranging from basic to strenuous activities)

  Baseline to 16-weeks

• Change in health-related quality of life (self-reported mental, physical, and social health and well-being)

  Baseline to 16-weeks

Study Arms (3)

Health Coaching and Tech Support

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive tech support for using the "Jawbone UP2" activity monitor and smartphone app, and education materials and health coaching to achieve their goals to reduce sedentary time and increase their daily steps.

Behavioral: Health Coaching and Tech Support

Tech Support Only

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants receive tech support for using the "Jawbone UP2" activity monitor and smartphone app and education materials on reducing sedentary behavior.

Behavioral: Tech Support Only

Waitlist Control

NO INTERVENTION

Participants are instructed to maintain their regular activities. Upon completion of the 16-week intervention, participants receive the "Jawbone UP2" activity monitor, education materials, and one session of tech support/health coaching.

Interventions

Health Coaching and Tech Support BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive a "Jawbone UP2" activity monitor and education materials about the negative consequences of sedentary behavior and suggestions for breaking up sedentary time with light physical activity. Participants receive 5 telephone coaching calls to set up the "Jawbone UP2" monitor with their smartphone app and receive tech support help with changing the settings/goals on the app. Additionally, this arm receives health coaching to provide encouragement and further motivate and help study participants to modify their sedentary behavior.

Health Coaching and Tech Support

Tech Support Only BEHAVIORAL

Participants will receive a "Jawbone UP2" activity monitor and education materials about the negative consequences of sedentary behavior and suggestions for breaking up sedentary time with light physical activity. Participants receive 5 telephone coaching calls to set up the "Jawbone UP2" monitor with their smartphone app and receive tech support help with changing the settings/goals on the app. However, there is no additional health coaching.
