Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to increase physical activity among overweight African-American women with mobility limitations.

Description:

Regular, sustainable physical activity can have a dramatic effect on reducing obesity and other secondary conditions and increasing quality of life. People with mobility limitations have a higher level of physical inactivity resulting from numerous personal and environmental barriers to physical activity participation. This project will evaluate the feasibility of increasing physical activity among overweight individuals with mobility limitations through physician-referrals to a personalized exercise programme at the Chicago-based National Center on Physical Activity and Disability (NCPAD).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Physical activity	Physical activity was assessed using the Physical Activity and Disability Scale (PADS), the Barriers to Physical Activity and Disbility Scale (B-PADS), (Rimmer et al 2000) and the Mobility Limitation score (Velozo et al 1999).	24 months
Primary	Body mass index (BMI)	Derived emperically	24 months
Primary	Blood lipids	Derived emperically	24 months
Primary	Weight	Derived emperically	24 months
Primary	Blood Pressure	Dervied emperically	24 months
Secondary	Psychosocial Health	Confirmed using the Quality of Wellbeing scale (Anderson et al 1989), and CARDIA-2 scale, an 11-item assessment (Allen et al 2001).	24 months
