Background: Sedentary time (too much sitting, as distinct from lack of exercise) is a prevalent risk to health among older adults.Purpose: Examine the feasibility of an intervention to reduce and break up sedentary time in older adults.Design: A pre-experimental (pre-post) study.Setting/participants: A total of 59 participants aged >= 60 years from Brisbane, Australia. Data were collected between May and December 2009 and analyzed in 2010.Intervention: One face-to-face goal-setting consultation and one individually tailored mailing providing feedback on accelerometer-derived sedentary time, grounded in social cognitive theory and behavioral choice theory.Main outcome measures: Program reach and retention; changes in accelerometer-derived sedentary time, light-intensity physical activity (LIPA), and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) (assessed over 6 days in pre- and post-intervention periods); and participant satisfaction.Results: Reach was 87.5% of those screened and eligible; retention was 100%. From pre- to post-intervention, participants decreased their sedentary time [-3.2% (95% CI= -4.18, -2.14), p
