About this study
Official title: Shape the Path: Targeting the Health and Mobility of Older Men Through Key Community Partnerships -- The Men on the Move Study
The Men on the Move Study is a randomized, controlled, feasibility study designed to address the health problem of physical inactivity in older men.
Read the detailed description
Men on the Move is a randomized, controlled, feasibility study to provide preliminary evidence of feasibility and efficacy for promoting mobility through the uptake of physical activity among men aged 65 years and older who are physically inactive. Specifically, Men on the Move will evaluate the effects of a choice-based physical activity model paired with an active transportation model. The choice-based physical activity model encourages older men to use existing community-based resources to create and implement actions plans for physical activity. It also provides ongoing face-to-face and telephone-based support from trained activity coaches. The active transportation model provides transit passes and active travel planning to promote use of transit and walking to destinations of interest. The feasibility of delivering the intervention will be assessed. Accelerometry and travel diaries will be used to measure the effects of the intervention on physical activity.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Feasibility of participant recruitment and retention (time frame: 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Sep 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
