The Fit With Us Study
Precision-based Teleexercise Trial to Increase Adherence in People With Disabilities
Who can join
Ages 18 to 89 · All sexes
Full eligibility criteria
Eligible participants must meet the following criteria to be included: (1) live with a permanent physical disability that limits their mobility; (2) be 18 to 89 years of age; (3) have broadband internet access; (4) be able to speak and read English; and (5) be able to attend coaching and training sessions during the weekdays. Participants are excluded from participation if they (1) possess significant visual acuity that prevents seeing a computer screen to follow a home exercise program; (2) have been regularly engaging in exercise for the previous 3 months; (3) are unable to use their arms and their legs at all to exercise; (4) are unsafe to exercise; (5) self-report that they are currently pregnant
About the study
The purpose of this 32-week study is to use an innovative experimental design known as SMART (Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial), which will allow us to determine the best way to sequence the delivery of teleexercise (referred to as an adaptive intervention), combined with predictive analytics on participant adherence in a stepped program of physical activity interventions. All 257 participants will have access to a library of recorded video exercise content, and a weekly wellness article. Some participants will receive health coaching calls (1st randomization). Analytic data will be used to determine which participants are responding or not responding to the intervention. Participants not responding after 4 weeks will receive either live one-on-one or group exercise training (2nd randomization). After 8 weeks, the participant will receive only pre-recorded exercise content and articles for a 24-week maintenance phase (weeks 9-32). The study outcomes are: The effectiveness of the adaptive interventions; Exploring mediating and moderating variables; Sensitivity analysis of the predictive analytics.
