Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the comparative effects of two different ways of enhancing long-term adherence to and benefits associated with participation in the evidence-based Fit and Strong multi-component exercise intervention for older persons with lower extremity osteoarthritis
Detailed Description: Osteoarthritis OA is the most common condition affecting older people today It is the leading cause of disability among older people and its impact is projected to increase substantially with the aging of the US population from 43 million currently to 60 million by 2020

Promising 2- and 6-month outcomes have recently been reported from a randomized trial of a multi-component exercise intervention targeted at older adults with lower extremity OA The Fit and Strong intervention developed and tested as part of the Midwest Roybal Center for Health Maintenance coupled strength training and aerobic walking with health education for sustained behavior change Improvements have been found in confidence in ability to exercise confidence in ability to continue exercising over time lower extremity stiffness lower extremity pain and 6-minute distance walk Importantly the average adherence rate in the people who participated in the exercise intervention at six months was twice that reported by controls

The specific aims of this study are to use a multi-site randomized controlled clinical trial to replicate the Fit and Strong intervention and to test the comparative effectiveness of a negotiatedtailored follow-up maintenance strategy vs a mainstreaming facility-based maintenance strategy both of which will be tested with and without telephone reinforcement as an enhancement

All enrolled participants will participate in the 8-week Fit and Strong exercise program designed specifically for older adults with lower-extremity OA Prior to the conclusion of Fit and Strong participants will be randomly assigned to one of two follow-up maintenance groups There is no more than minimal risk associated with this program
