NCT06362824 · RECRUITING
Promoting Physical Activity in Older Hispanic/Latino(a) Adults
This trial is testing a culturally adapted, fully remote physical activity program called De Pie y a Movernos, designed specifically for older Hispanic and Latino adults. Researchers want to know whether 12 weeks of the program increases motivation, social support, and enjoyment for exercise — and whether participants end up meeting the recommended 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. This is a Phase NA behavioral trial, meaning it is evaluating a structured lifestyle program, not a drug.
