Testing a vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity intervention in adults transitioning to retirement: a pilot randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity (VILPA; short bursts of vigorous-intensity activities in a person's daily life) could be an attractive and feasible option to increase physical activity (PA) in adults transitioning to retirement.

Design and setting

Two-arm pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test the feasibility of the intervention and the plausibility of the intervention to increase PA in adults transitioning to retirement in Perth, Western Australia.

Participants

Insufficiently physically active adults transitioning to retirement.

Intervention

Twelve-week theory-based and evidence-informed VILPA intervention designed to increase PA in adults transitioning to retirement.

Objectives and measurements

The feasibility of t
