Brief description People with impaired mobility can achieve substantial benefits from appropriate physical activities but face many barriers to being active so require targeted interventions and health professional support. This trial (n=600) will test the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an enhanced physical activity coaching intervention (home-visit from a physiotherapist, phone coaching, technology) with phone coaching alone and with no intervention.
