Sponsor's own description
This study aims to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of a Wearable Activity Tracker (WAT)-based exercise intervention to increase physical activity levels in frail or pre-frail older people. One group of participants will receive a WAT-based exercise intervention incorporated with the support of behavioral change techniques (BCTs) and technical issues, while the other group will receive only an exercise intervention incorporated with BCTs support.
