Study design
’
This pilot study used a single group, pre-test-post-test design to assess the acceptability homebased ‘exercise snacking’ in older adult patients attending the memory clinic at the Research Institute for the Care of Older People (RICE) in Bath, UK. All participants were asked to undertake 28 days of twice daily exercise snacks, with baseline measures of physical and cognitive function, patient reported health, wellbeing, and psychological process outcomes relating to exercise behaviour, recorded on the day before the intervention and follow-up measures scheduled within 7-days of the final day of the intervention. The primary outcome of intervention acceptability was measured by self-report questionnaire, with participants also invited to participate in a qualitative interview of their experience of the intervention.
