Keeping Adults Physically Active Feasibility Study

The Keeping Adults Physically Active (KAPA) intervention included six 60-90 minute group motivational interviewing sessions which were supported by a pedometer and a file containing information about locally run physical activity services, a home exercise booklet and written information on different types of lifestyle and transport related physical activity. During sessions the KAPA participants created physical activity plans and reflected on their physical activity diaries and personal physical activity goals. Various sub-sets of behaviour change techniques were delivered to help support the participants in continuing to be active.

Usual care was delivered for the duration of the KAPA feasibility study. The usual care participants finished the original Falls Management Exercise program and went on to being offered the service provider's usual care package. Upon initiating the KAPA feasibility study it was unknown what the service provider would deliver as usual care. Therefore a study objective was to describe the usual care package delivered by the service providers.
