| Study objectives | Physical activity is a protective factor in the origins of heart disease, stroke, obesity, diabetes, and osteoporosis. It may also play a role in the promotion of mental health. Inactivity is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of four methods of increasing the level of physical activity in middle aged people. |

| Intervention | The five interventions were: 1. Information pack and 5 minute interview (control group) 2. Pack plus one 40 minute motivational interview 3. As group 2 plus 30 vouchers giving free access to local leisure facilities 4. Pack plus six motivational interviews over 12 weeks 5. As group 4 plus vouchers. At the initial interview information was collected about demography, physical activity score, knowledge about benefits of physical activity and barriers to undertaking it, smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, and general health. Physical assessment included height, weight, waist and hip circumference, blood pressure, and respiratory and cardiovascular function tests. The 12 weeks questionnaire collected self-reported information, and the 12 month assessment covered the full range of measurements. The participants received a postal questionnaire after 12 weeks, and were interviewed and re-assessed at 12 months. |
