This study, called "Planning Actions for Consistent Engagement," is looking at how different ways of planning activities can help older adults become more physically active and improve their thinking skills (cognition). Researchers want to see if a "trial-and-error" approach to planning physical activity (PA Action Planning and Consistency in Action Plans) works better than standard physical activity planning or planning for other healthy behaviors (Non-PA Action Planning). You might be able to join if you are 60 or older, own a smartphone, and are not currently meeting physical activity guidelines but want to increase your activity. The main goal is to measure changes in your physical activity levels over 6 months. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Study design

This is an interventional study planning to enroll 148 participants. It compares three different approaches to action planning.

Compensation

Follow-up

Physical activity will be assessed daily during a 3-month follow-up period after the 6-month intervention.
