The relationship between the implementation and effectiveness of a nationwide physical activity telephone counseling service for adults with spinal cord injury.

CONCLUSIONS: This study identified intervention dose and content as key implementation variables for an LTPA telephone counseling service for adults with SCI. Implications for Rehabilitation An evidence- and theory-based telephone counseling service can effectively sustain LTPA intentions and increase LTPA behavior among adults with SCI. The first two months of the service are a critical period for enhancing LTPA participation and for minimizing dropouts. The provision of both informational and behavioral strategies is important for increasing aerobic LTPA levels among adults with SCI. PMID: 28029067 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
