It is the purpose of this clinical trial to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a brief online physical activity group (incorporating motivational interviewing) for UK women who are currently experiencing peri- or post-menopausal symptoms and working full-time. To measure feasibility and acceptability, the following will be examined: 1. The ease that participants were recruited; 2. The proportion of participants that remained in the online physical activity group (attending at least half of the sessions); 3. The proportion of participants that remained in the study; 4. How acceptable the participants find the online physical activity group; 5. Whether there is a preliminary indications that the online physical activity group may increase participant activity levels. Once provided informed consent, all participants will be randomly allocated into either the online physical activity group (intervention arm) or the control group. Participants will be asked to complete outcome measures at the same four timepoints, as well as completing a weekly physical activity log.

INTERVENTIONAL

Intervention Type : BEHAVIORAL
Intervention Description : The online physical activity group will consist of four 45-60-minute sessions, which participants allocated to this group will be asked to commit to. These sessions will be delivered online and occur for 4 weeks. Discussions within the sessions will incorporate motivational interviewing, focussing on the benefits of physical activity, current physical activity levels, barriers to physical activity and overcoming these, motivation to complete physical activity, and goal setting. Participants allocated to this group will receive weekly reminders to promote attendance. Participants will also be asked to complete a weekly physical activity log that includes detail about the type of physical activity they completed, the duration, intensity, context and comments.

Intervention Arm Group : Online Physical Activity Group;

Intervention Type : BEHAVIORAL
Intervention Description : Participants will receive an information leaflet that includes information about menopause (e.g. definition, symptoms), the benefits of physical activity for menopause, recommended weekly physical activity levels (based on CMO guidelines), examples of physical activity, and signposting to online resources. Participants will be able to use the information leaflet as they wish, and complete a weekly physical activity log that includes detail about the type of physical activity completed, the duration, intensity, context and comments.

Intervention Arm Group : Control - Information Leaflet Only;Online Physical Activity Group;
