Physical Activity intervention
ACTIVE COMPARATORFive physical activity coaching calls with MoveLine and weekly physical activity. Objective tracking of activity with an accelerometer will occur at baseline, after 12 months, and after 24 months.
Delayed intervention
PLACEBO COMPARATORObjective tracking of activity with an accelerometer will occur at baseline, after 12 months, and after 24 months.
Interventions
