REmote Virtual Inspiration: vitality and Energy

The REVIVE study is a fully remote, two‐arm randomized controlled trial designed to testa seated Tai Chi/Qigong intervention adapted for women with mobility impairments. Thestudy addresses the need for accessible, home‐based interventions that can support healthand well‐being among individuals who may experience barriers to traditional in‐personphysical activity programs.Participants complete all study activities from home over approximately 30 weeks. Afterscreening and baseline procedures, participants are randomized to one of two studyconditions: a seated Tai Chi/Qigong intervention or a health education video controlcondition. The study includes a baseline assessment period, a 12‐week guided interventionphase, a post‐intervention assessment period, a 12‐week unprompted phase, and a finalfollow‐up assessment period.During the guided intervention phase, participants receive daily video‐based content.Participants assigned to the Tai Chi/Qigong condition receive seated practice videos thatinclude gentle movements, breathing exercises, mindfulness, relaxation, body awareness,and meditative movement practices. Videos include shorter and longer options to supportflexibility and accommodate participant preferences, and schedules.Participants assigned to the health education video control condition receive dailywellness education videos delivered with the same frequency and format. Control videosaddress general wellness topics but do not include meditative movement, structuredexercise instruction, or physical activity behavior change strategies.Study assessments are conducted remotely using online surveys, wearable technology, sleepdiaries, remote measurement procedures, and at‐home saliva collection. Study staffprovide training and online support to help participants complete study activities andassessments from home.REVIVE will evaluate whether a remotely delivered, seated Tai Chi/Qigong interventionadapted for women with mobility impairments can improve cardiometabolic andstress‐related health outcomes. The study will also examine potential biological,psychological, and behavioral pathways that may explain intervention effects. Findingsmay inform future clinical and community‐based programs designed to improve health andquality of life among women with mobility impairments.
