We have developed peer leader and walker motivation training resources which are free to use by any organisation wanting to promote physical activity in older adults. The resources can also be adapted for use with other population groups. Please contact Prof Cecilie Thøgersen-Ntoumani (c.thogersen@curtin.edu.au) for more details.
