What this Trial Is About
This clinical trial tests the effect of a physical activity intervention that emphasizes support between partners in women who are not physically active. Decisions about and participation in physical activity often involve others in one's social circle, including family and friends. Social support for physical activity and having someone with whom to engage in physical activity may promote behavioral change and help increase moderate-intensity physical activity in inactive women.
