Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This clinical trial tests the effect of a physical activity intervention that emphasizes support between partners in women who are not physically active. Decisions about and participation in physical activity often involve others in one's social circle, including family and friends. Social support for physical activity and having someone with whom to engage in physical activity may promote behavioral change and help increase moderate-intensity physical activity in inactive women.

- Group 1 (phone call, FitBit, newsletter, accelerometer)
- description
- Participants receive phone calls over 30-45 minutes each from a health coach weekly during month 1, twice monthly during months 2-4, and monthly during months 5-6 for a total of 12 phone calls that focus on identifying needs, practicing autonomy supportive behaviors, and the development of a mutual support plan. Participants also engage in at least one physical activity per week with their partner and monitor their own and each other's activity using a FitBit. Participants also wear an accelerometer for a minimum of 10 hours a day for 7 days.
