Brief Summary
The study aims to implement a 12-week home-based exercise programme utilising an online intervention delivery platform. The focus will be on increasing exercise behaviour within the participant's home setting using aerobic, resistance and flexibility exercises as well as behaviour change techniques. Following the programme, semi-structured interviews will be conducted, to explore participant experiences. It is hypothesised that the exercise programme will be feasible, accessible and acceptable.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through recruitment rate
Recruitment rate will be calculated by dividing the number of eligible candidates by the number who consent to participate.
Calculated at trial end, i.e.12 weeks after inclusion.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through attrition
Attrition rate will be defined and calculated as discontinuation of the intervention without return.
Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through adherence
Adherence will calculated by monitoring the online platform engagement and outputs from post exercise session questionnaires.
Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through intervention engagement
Engagement will be calculated by monitoring participant's activity on the online platform.
Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through completion rate
Completion rate will be calculated by dividing the number of participants who successfully complete the programme, by the number of participants that attempt.
Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion.
Acceptability and experience of the programme via participant interviews
Interviews will take place between the researcher and participant to explore their experience on the programme and identifying areas for improvement. This may be with participants who completed the intervention, withdrew or declined to participate.
Evaluated after intervention period, i.e. up to 12 weeks after inclusion offer.
