简要总结
This is a prospective, double-blinded, 16-week, randomized controlled trial (RCT). Young adults aged 18-25 years are recruited in this study. Based on King's (1981) goal attainment theory, a diet-exercise program is created. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of physiological indicators and health behaviours by conducting an exerciset programme and intensive therapy.
详细描述
Background:
Emerging adulthood (18-25 years), has been linked to increased probability of unhealthy and risky lifestyle behaviours, such as alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, dangerous driving, unprotected sex, and unhealthy dietary choices. These lifestyle behaviours are associated with some of the key leading causes of premature death and disease burden in this age group. Thus, reducing the prevalence of risky and unhealthy lifestyle behaviours among emerging adults is a priority for health promoters and governments.
Aim:
The researchers hypothesize that a health program based on King's goal achievement theory have a significant effect on body composition among college students. Therefore, in this study, researchers will explore the impact of a health program based on King's goal achievement theory on the body composition of college students.

结局指标
主要结局
Assessment of changes in body composition
时间窗: Before and 16 weeks after the intervention
Participants will have body composition measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) with InBody 720 device. According to the InBody device manufacturer's testing procedures, participants will be told not to exercise for at least 24 hours before the test, not to consume alcohol or excessive amounts of caffeine, and not to eat and drink for four hours before the test, but water can be consumed up to 45 minutes before the test.
次要结局
- Motivation level(Before and 16 weeks after the intervention)
- Changes in amount of physical activety(Before and 16 weeks after the intervention)
- Changes in self-efficacy(Before and 16 weeks after the intervention)
