Abstract BackgroundThere is a lot of research highlighting the importance of physical activity. However, how to increase or maintain physical activity as people age is an unanswered question.

High intensity exercise had previously been shown to induce greater health effects than moderate intensity exercise, while the long-term effect of different exercise intensity on physical activity level have not been examined before.

The present study aimed to assess the effect of 5 years of supervised exercise training at high- and moderate intensity, compared to a non-supervised control group on change in objectively measured physical activity in older The present study was a sub-study of a randomized controlled trial (RCT), the Generation study where older adults ( years) have been randomized into either a high -intensity interval training group (HIIT), a moderate-intensity continuous training group (MICT), and a control group in which they were asked to follow the national guid
