Study information

Primary study design	Interventional
Study design	Randomised controlled trial
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Study type	Participant information sheet
Scientific title	Physical activity intervention for postnatal women: a randomised controlled trial
Study acronym	MAMMiS
Study objectives	The intervention group will show increased participation in moderate-vigorous physical activity relative to the control group at three and six months follow-up.
Ethics approval(s)	Fife and Forth Valley Research Ethics Committee approved on the 16th December 2010
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Public health
Intervention	A motivational and behavioural management intervention consisting of two face-to-face physical activity (PA) consultations delivered at the start and end of a 10-week group pram-walking programme. The intervention group will receive a motivational and behavioural management intervention consisting of two individual face-to-face physical activity consultations of 30-40 minutes in duration, a 10-week group pram-walking programme and a leaflet describing the benefits of physical activity. Physical activity consultations will be delivered by the Chief Investigator who is a Health Psychologist and trained physical activity counsellor. Consultations will be structured sessions using evidence-based behaviour change techniques to encourage physical activity participation amongst participants. This will include providing participants with feedback on physical activity levels, raising awareness of the benefits of physical activity, goal setting, weekly action planning and self-monitoring of physical activity, prompting environmental change, social support seeking, planning how to overcome barriers to physical activity and relapse prevention. The pram-walking programme will provide one session per week of up to 50 minutes of moderate physical activity in the local community and will be lead by the Chief Investigator who is a trained walk leader. The control group will receive a leaflet describing the benefits of physical activity.
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure(s)	Physical activity behaviour change measured using accelerometers (Actigraph GT3X), pedometers (Omron Healthcare UK Ltd) and the 7-Day Physical Activity Recall (PAR) interview. All primary and secondary outcome measures will be taken at baseline, 3 and 6 months from baseline.
Key secondary outcome measure(s)	1. Psychological well-being 2. Fatigue 3. Cardiovascular fitness 4. Weight 5. Body mass index (BMI) 6. Body composition (e.g. percentage body fat, fat mass and fat-free mass) 7. Theoretical mediators of physical activity behaviour change Added 24/02/2011: All primary and secondary outcome measures will be taken at baseline, 3 and 6 months from baseline. Previous measures: All primary and secondary outcome measures will be taken at baseline, 3 and 6 months from baseline with the exception of a self-report questionnaire measuring theoretical mediators of physical activity behaviour change (baseline and 3 months only).
