Summary

The study aimed at assessing whether the guidelines from the European project FOCUS had an effect on adherence to a physical activity program in older women. The program consisted of two 12-week periods, in which women followed a set of pre-specified exercises (1 hour, twice per week). The first period was supervised by a monitor while the second was autonomous. Support groups, in which the contact between participants was established through information and communication technologies (social-network through the mobile phone), were set up to maintain engagement between participants. Women were randomized to three arms consisting of 2 intervention groups, with and without the FOCUS guidelines, and a sedentary control. Secondary outcomes included a battery of dimensions affecting physical performance, psychological status, and quality of life.
