Brief Summary

The present study aims to test the efficacy of a multi-level telehealth intervention to Enhance Physical Activity (EPA) in 300 low-income Black and Hispanic/Latino adults. EPA is eight weeks with four weekly, hour-long parts: virtual group exercises, virtual group discussions, individual PA participation, and individual phone check-ins. A control group will receive health education. The specific aims are to: 1) test if physical activity increases significantly more among participants assigned to EPA vs. wait-list controls and 2) test if physical function improves significantly more among participants in EPA vs. controls. An exploratory third aim will test mechanisms of change associated with EPA.
