Journal Article
(2020). A novel behavioural INTErvention to REduce Sitting Time in older adults undergoing orthopaedic surgery (INTEREST): results of a randomised-controlled feasibility study. Aging clinical and experimental research, 2565-2585. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40520-020-01475-6

BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis is a prevalent condition in older adults that causes many patients to require a hip or knee replacement. Reducing patients' sedentariness prior to surgery may improve physical function and post-operative outcomes. METHODS:...
