Moderate-Intensity Physical Activity Coaching (M-PAC) Study


Project Description:

Engaging in regular physical activity during midlife is a key lifestyle behavior associated with reduced risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). Yet nearly half of midlife adults (48%) do not meet national physical activity guidelines. The purpose of this trial is to identify effective goal setting techniques to enhance psychosocial processes of self-regulation for the successful promotion of physical activity and adherence to national physical activity guidelines among midlife adults, with the long-term goal of reducing AD/ADRD risk.
