Study name	MOVING: Motivation‐Orientation interVention study for the elderly IN Greifswald
Methods	Study design: 2‐arm randomised controlled trial Study grouping: Parallel group Recruitment: Re‐contacting participants from a prior study, general medical practices, general recruitment Study SB/PA aim: The primary objective of the MOVING study is to examine the effects of an increase of PA and a reduction of ST after 6 months in the intervention group compared to the control group as assessed by accelerometer. Country: Germany Setting: Western Pomerania, rural area in Northeast Germany
Participants	Inclusion criteria: Age ≥ 65 years The possibility of being physically active in daily life Exclusion criteria: Permanent use of a wheelchair (no ability to walk independently) Simultaneous participation in other studies including physical activity (PA) or reducing sedentary time (ST) Not accessible by telephone or cell phone (necessary for screening) Fulfilment of the WHO recommendations for PA (self‐report) for people aged ≥ 65 years at baseline
Interventions	At baseline, all participants receive general information and recommendations about the positive effects of regular PA and less ST on the improvement of cardiovascular risk factors. The intervention comprises 2 individualised feedback letters using the variables number of steps per day, time in minutes of MVPA, and sedentary time in minutes per day. Participants in the intervention group will receive a feedback letter by mail shortly after wearing the accelerometer following the baseline examination and the 3‐month follow‐up. The feedback letters will contain personalised feedback based on accelerometry as well as ST behaviour. PA and ST data will be depicted in 3 comprehensive graphs. Additionally, participants receive leaflets with age‐appropriate recommendations for PA and ST at baseline. The leaflets are from the Federal Centre for Health Education. Control: (no other details provided)
Outcomes	Physical activity and sedentary time are measured with the ActiGraph wGT3X‐BT at 3, 6, and 12 months. Sedentary behaviour is captured by the Measure of Older Adults’ Sedentary Time (MOST) questionnaire in the German version at 3, 6, and 12 months.
