Feasibility of the JOIN4JOY Programme to Reduce Sedentary Behaviour and Increase Physical Activity in Older Adults.
144 participantsStarted 2023-12
Plain-language summary
Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) programmes for older people in the community and long-term care facilities traditionally focus on achieving functional and health improvements. These approaches face frequent challenges in reaching older people with more social disadvantages and in achieving and maintaining attendance. The aim is to evaluate the acceptability, implementation process and potential impact of a co-created JOIN4JOY PA programme focused on enjoyment and social inclusion for 65+-year-old community-dwelling adults as well as for 65+-year-olds nursing-home residents who live in nursing homes.

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.
