About this trial

The study aims to implement a 12-week home-based exercise programme utilising an online intervention delivery platform. The focus will be on increasing exercise behaviour within the participant's home setting using aerobic, resistance and flexibility exercises as well as behaviour change techniques. Following the programme, semi-structured interviews will be conducted, to explore participant experiences.

It is hypothesised that the exercise programme will be feasible, accessible and acceptable.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through recruitment rate

Recruitment rate will be calculated by dividing the number of eligible candidates by the number who consent to participate.

Time frame
Calculated at trial end, i.e.12 weeks after inclusion.
2

Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through attrition

Attrition rate will be defined and calculated as discontinuation of the intervention without return.

Time frame
Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion.
3

Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through adherence

Adherence will calculated by monitoring the online platform engagement and outputs from post exercise session questionnaires.

Time frame
Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion.
4

Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through intervention engagement

Engagement will be calculated by monitoring participant's activity on the online platform.

Time frame
Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion.

Secondary outcomes

1

Participant Body Mass (kg)

Participant Body Mass will be measured using calibrated, digital scales.

Time frame
Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion.
2

Participant Body Fat Mass (kg)

Participant Body Fat Mass will be measured using the BiodyXpertZMII.

Time frame
Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion.
3

Participant Body Fat Percentage (%)

Participant Body Fat Percentage will be measured using the BiodyXpertZMII.

Time frame
Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion.
4

Participant Fat Free Mass (%)

Participant Fat Free Mass will be measured using the BiodyXpertZMII.

Time frame
Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion.

Other outcomes

1

Functional Ability (aerobic capacity and endurance) change through Six Minute Walk test

This will be measured using the Six Minute Walk test and change will be compared within and between participants.

Time frame
Taken at baseline and 12 weeks/programme completion.
2

Functional Ability (leg strength and endurance) change through 30s Sit to Stand test

This will be measured using the 30s Sit to Stand test and change will be compared within and between participants.

Time frame
Taken at baseline and 12 weeks/programme completion.
3

Functional Ability (strength) change through hand grip strength test

This will be measured using the hand grip dynamometer, and change will be compared within and between participants.

Time frame
Taken at baseline and 12 weeks/programme completion.
4

Quality of Life and Cost Effectiveness

This will be measured using the European Quality of Life Five Dimension Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), and change will be compared within and between participants. Scores range from 1-5 with lower scores associated with a better outcome.

Time frame
Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion.
