Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
There are two levels of intervention being tested over a two-year period:
Intervention 1: participants can redeem a free pass within the first six months of the study for a single visit to the Peninsula Aquatic and Recreation Centre allowing pool usage, gym usage, an exercise class or spa/warm water pool use.
Intervention 2: This comprises intervention 1, plus: generic congratulatory SMS/letter for those redeeming passes, or 15 min follow-up and encouragement phone call from a health educator for those not redeeming passes; 2 x 15 min phone contacts per year (4 over two years) from a health educator to discuss usage of Centre and give support in developing plans for physical activity; 4 x two-page newsletters per year with practical advice and encouragement concerning physical activity, and; posted Christmas and Birthday cards each year with brief physical activity messages included.

All study members are given a PARC digital swipe card, which has a unique identification number embedded in it, that can be used to record their use of the facility on a monthly basis.

Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)

Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation using a randomised number sequence created by computer software
Masking / blinding

Statistical methods / analysis
Sample size was determined as the number needed to show a significant difference in weekly participation in organised physical activity. It is assumed that 10% of control subjects will become regular participants in organised physical activity. Therefore a sample size of 300 in each arm of the study will be required to show with 95% confidence limits and 80% power: (i) a 10% difference in outcome between participants in Intervention 1 and the control group (i.e., 20% vs. 10%); and (ii) a 10% difference between those in Intervention 1 and Intervention 2 (i.e., 30% vs. 20%). To accommodate a 25% drop out among recruited participants over the two year course of the study, the target sample size was inflated to 400 per group.
