The AGILITY Study
Research study into getting older adults to be more active
We do not yet know the best way to help people to stay active as they get older.
We’d like the help of 80 adults aged 55 or over who aren’t active enough (<150 minutes of moderate exercise per week) to help look into this.
Apply at this link to confirm you have a smartphone and an email address, and have had a recent NHS health-check or are willing to have your NHS health-check on joining the study.
What taking part involves
You will complete online health questionnaires at the start and 3 months later.
You will need to wear a device that measures your activity levels at the start and end of the study (for 7 days each time).
You will need to download an app that will measure your walking.
Half of people will be randomly chosen (like ‘flipping a coin’) to test one way of getting active. The other half will test another way.
Some people will be asked to take part in an interview with a member of the study team.
Benefits and risks
