A novel behavioural INTErvention to REduce Sitting Time in older adults undergoing orthopaedic surgery (INTEREST): results of a randomised-controlled feasibility study.

CONCLUSION: In this older surgical population, it is feasible to use behavioural techniques to displace sedentary time to activity and to conduct a trial spanning the period of surgical intervention. This may improve physical function and surgical outcomes. The INTEREST intervention is now ready for evaluation in a full-scale randomised-controlled trial. REGISTRATION: This trial was registered on Clinicaltrials.gov on 13/11/2018. ID: NCT03740412. PMID: 31975288 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
