Testing the Implementation of Movement-to-Music in a Community Fitness Center and Blended Onsite and Teleexercise Class

Stopped: Grant projects were revised in response to COVID-19.

Plain-language summary

To prepare for a large scale-up study, the goal of this pilot implementation trial is to examine the feasibility of Movement-to-Music (M2M©) delivery mechanisms through two channels: 1) a group-based M2M© program conducted onsite at a local YMCA; and 2) a blended program that provides Y-M2M© and a home-based M2M© (B-M2M©) via videoconferencing. A key element of this pilot is to examine issues associated with participant-provider interactions, and to better understand the robustness of the technology to deliver a group-based (teleexercise) version of M2M© in the home setting.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
