Primary outcomePrimary: Minutes Per Week of Hi/Light Intensity Physical Activity — 445; 335; 626; 493 minutes per week — p=<0.05
Summary
The outcomes of this application will provide nursing researchers with information about ways to increase physical activity (PA) and decrease sedentary time (ST) in at-risk older Filipinos adults who are lay leaders in Filipino Catholic clubs in Hawaii. The proposed 12-week PA/ST program will include both a group-based component (3 group discussions during monthly club meetings) and a personalized telephone counseling component (12 weekly calls from nursing students to problem solve barriers to increasing light-to-moderate physical activity and decreasing / breaking up sedentary time). The project will stimulate multidisciplinary research at our School of Nursing and School of Medicine and has the potential to help older at-risk Filipinos reach national guidelines for healthy levels of physical activity and lower the amount of time they spend sitting/being sedentary.
