Allocation: RANDOMIZED

Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness of a health-coaching intervention to improve physical activity in older adults with limited mobility when compared to a control, health education group.

Detailed description: A total of 290 older adults with limited mobility will be randomized to either a 26-week health coaching program or health education program. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 13-weeks, 26-weeks (end of intervention), and 52 week (6-month follow-up period).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* scored ≤ 9/12 on the SPPB
* are able to complete the 400-m walk in ≤ 15 minutes without sitting or physical assistance from another person or walker (use of cane is acceptable)
* scored 22/30 or higher on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
* have no significant functional impairment as indicated by a score of 6/8 or higher on the Lawton and Brody Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Scale
* are able to safely engage in MVPA as indicated by the PAR-Q+ and by the family or study physician as necessary
* are community-dwelling
* are able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* are diagnosed with dementia or stroke
* self-report engaging in MVPA ≥ 10 minutes per week in the prior 3 months
* are unable to understand, speak, and read English proficiently
