DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Dr. Strath's past and current research focus has been on physical activity (PA) assessment and PA and health indices. His immediate goal is to acquire new professional skills to help him achieve a long-term goal of developing a successful independent extramurally-funded research program in PA and health for the elderly. The outlined K01 Career Development Award (CDA) should provide Dr. Strath with the required training to achieve his long-term goal. Dr. Strath's research CDA consists of acquiring new skills associated with and complimentary to his proposed research plan, which consists of: a) structured activities including formal course work; b) attendance and presentations at scientific meetings and journal clubs; and c) regular interactions with his sponsors and mentoring team. The immediate environment for Dr. Strath's proposed training and research plan should be excellent. The sponsors and mentoring team identified are exceptionally qualified to provide the necessary mentoring and have dedicated a substantial time commitment to helping Dr. Strath succeed in his professional goals. The general aim of studies 1 and 2 will seek to refine objective PA assessment methods specific to the elderly. Experimentally, this will consist of establishing criterion related validity during standarized activities, and different lifestyle related activities, producing age appropriate equations to regress objective monitoring to measured PA. Reliability and construct validity will be further established. These studies are necessary to obtain accurate PA outcomes associated with study 3. The general aim of study 3 is to determine the relative effectiveness of individually- tailored, mail mediated, interventions designed to increase PA and health and well-being in the elderly. Experimental design will consist of a delayed-control arm and three experimental interventions. Intervention 1: continuous pedometer feedback; Intervention 2: motivationally-matched mailed feedback; and Intervention 3: the interaction of intervention 1 and intervention 2. New innovative information arising from this experimental design is that it will permit an evaluation of continuous pedometer feedback, the usefulness of individually-tailored, mail mediated interventions, and the combined effects of both. This intervention design is both novel and innovative in the elderly.

描述（由申请人提供）：Strath博士的过去和当前研究重点一直是体育活动（PA）评估以及PA和健康指数。他的近期目标是获得新的专业技能，以帮助他实现长期目标，即在PA和老年人中开发成功的独立外部资助研究计划。概述的K01职业发展奖（CDA）应为Strath博士提供所需的培训，以实现其长期目标。 Strath博士的研究CDA包括获取与其拟议的研究计划相关和补充的新技能，该技能包括：a）包括正式课程工作在内的结构化活动； b）参加科学会议和期刊俱乐部的出席和演讲； c）与他的赞助商和指导团队进行定期互动。 Strath博士提议的培训和研究计划的直接环境应该是极好的。鉴定的赞助商和指导团队非常有资格提供必要的指导，并致力于帮助Strath博士成功实现其职业目标。研究1和2的总体目的将寻求完善对老年人特有的客观PA评估方法。在实验上，这将包括在标准活动中建立与标准相关的有效性，以及不同的生活方式相关的活动，从而产生适合年龄的方程式以将客观监视回归为测量的PA。可靠性和构造有效性将进一步确定。这些研究对于获得与研究3相关的准确PA结果是必要的。研究3的总体目的是确定旨在增加老年人的PA，健康和福祉的单独量身定制的，邮件介导的干预措施的相对有效性。实验设计将包括延迟控制组和三个实验干预措施。干预1：连续计步器反馈；干预2：动机匹配的邮寄反馈；和干预3：干预1和干预措施的相互作用2。这项实验设计引起的新创新信息是，它将允许评估连续计量计的反馈，单独计算，邮件介导的干预措施的有用性以及两者的综合效果。这种干预设计既新颖又是创新的。
