Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Adherence to a physical activity intervention significantly improves visual outcomes in an African population with abnormal glucose tolerance.<br>This outcome seeks to examine the difference in visual outcomes before and after the physical activity regimen has been completed by the participants. The dependent variables in this hypothesis are the visual outcomes (visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and central visual field) of the participant, and the independent variable is the amount of physical activity done. This will be done using the mixed-design Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), with a within-subjects factor (pretest and posttest) and a between-subject factor (experimental and control), to find mean differences at a significance level of p < 0.05.
