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.

BehavioralA 12 week, online delivered, home-based exercise programme.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through attrition
Attrition rate will be defined and calculated as discontinuation of the intervention without return.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through adherence
Adherence will calculated by monitoring the online platform engagement and outputs from post exercise session questionnaires.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through intervention engagement
Engagement will be calculated by monitoring participant's activity on the online platform.
Secondary outcomes
Participant Body Mass (kg)
Participant Body Mass will be measured using calibrated, digital scales.
Participant Body Fat Mass (kg)
Participant Body Fat Mass will be measured using the BiodyXpertZMII.
Participant Body Fat Percentage (%)
Participant Body Fat Percentage will be measured using the BiodyXpertZMII.
Participant Fat Free Mass (%)
Participant Fat Free Mass will be measured using the BiodyXpertZMII.
Other outcomes
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.
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.
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.
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.
