Keep Active Minnesota

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Physical Activity Maintenance

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new phone and mail based coaching/support program that has been developed is more effective in helping people stay physically active than existing programs that are currently available to all HealthPartners members. We hypothesize that the intervention program will lead to a greater likelihood of physical activity maintenance among moderately active older adults than a usual care condition.
