Official title: Enhancing Physical Activity With a Social Support Adherence Intervention

The study compares two programs to increase physical activity among sedentary old persons. The first is a provision of a free physical activity program tailored to their abilities. The other combines the same free physical activity with an adherence intervention which focuses on social contact with others in the program and on enhancing self-efficacy.

Being tested
PA+Social Adherence Intervention(PASAI)
