A 12-week Field Trial of the Move Physical Activity Support Program

Not Applicable

Completed

Conditions: Physical Inactivity
Overweight and Obesity

Registration Number: NCT05865392

Lead Sponsor: University of Colorado, Denver

Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to design and refine an activity support program for overweight or obese adults called Move. The primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the Move physical activity support program.

Detailed Description: The purpose of this study is to design and refine a physical activity support program called Move, designed for adults with overweight or obesity. Participants will receive a 12-week, virtual physical activity support program called Move. Move includes four intervention components: 1) 3, 60-minute group-based classes, 2) 3, 45-minute individualized support sessions, 3) access to an online fitness membership, and 4) mental guided imagery sessions. Participants will be asked to build their physical activity levels up to 150 minutes/week. The primary outcome is to evaluate the program's acceptability and feasibility from both the participant and the provider perspectives.

Capable and willing to give informed consent, understand exclusion criteria, attend the Move+ program sessions, and complete outcome measures.

For the provider partners only:

>1 year experience with delivering lifestyle interventions involving changes in diet and/or exercise behaviors.

Exclusion Criteria

For participant partners:

Considered high risk, based on the American College of Sports Medicine Guidelines for Exercise Testing and Prescription60 (i.e. have CVD symptoms or known CVD, diabetes, or end-stage renal disease).
Females who are currently pregnant or lactating, were pregnant within the past 3 months, or planning to become pregnant in the next 5 months will also be excluded
Self-reported cardiovascular disease:
Cardiac, peripheral vascular, or cerebrovascular disease
Self-reported symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular disease:
pain, discomfort in the chest, neck, jaw, arms, or other areas that may result from cardiac ischemia; shortness of breath at rest or with mild exertion; dizziness or syncope; orthopnea or paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea; ankle edema; palpitations or tachycardia; intermittent claudication.
Self-reported end-stage renal disease
Self-reported diabetes (history of type 1 or type 2 diabetes)
Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as diastolic blood pressure >100 mmHG, systolic blood pressure >160 mmHG, or resting heart rate >100 bpm as measured in duplicate at the screening visit after 5 minutes of rest in a seated position.
Self-reported pulmonary disease requiring chronic oxygen supplementation; severe asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease requiring hospitalization in past year.
Plans to relocate in the next 4 months
Currently participating in or planning to participate in any formal weight loss, dietary modification, or physical activity/exercise programs or clinical trials.
Current severe depression or history of severe depression within the previous year, based on DSM-IV-TR criteria for Major Depressive Episode. Score > 18 on BDI will require further assessment by the Study MD to determine if it is appropriate for the subject to participate in the study.
History of other significant psychiatric illness (e.g., psychosis, schizophrenia, mania, bipolar disorder) which in the opinion of the Study MD would interfere with ability to adhere to the exercise intervention.
History of clinically diagnosed eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder. Score >20 on the EATS-26 or pattern of response on the QEWP-5 suggestive of possible binge eating disorder or bulimia will require further assessment by the Study MD to determine if it is appropriate for the subject to participate in the study.
Current alcohol or substance abuse
Nicotine use (current or past 6 months)
Regular use of prescription or over-the-counter medications known to significantly impact appetite, weight, sleep, or energy metabolism (e.g., appetite suppressants, lithium, stimulants, anti-psychotics, tricyclic antidepressants)
Regular use of obesity pharmacotherapeutic agents within the last 6 months.
Previous obesity treatment with surgery or weight loss device, except: (1) liposuction and/or abdominoplasty if performed > 1 year before screening, (2) lap banding if the band has been removed > 1 year before screening, (3) intragastric balloon if the balloon has been removed > 1 year before screening (4) duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve, if the sleeve has been removed > 1 year before screening or 5) AspireAssist or other endoscopically placed weight loss device if the device has been removed > 1 year before screening.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Acceptability of the Move Physical Activity Support Program, Measured With the Net Promoter Score (NPS)	12 weeks	Acceptability of the Move physical activity support program will be assessed using the Net Promoter Score (NPS) from the participant and provider perspectives. The score is calculated as a composite score from responders. Each responder rates the program between 0 and 10. Each responder is categorized as promotors (scores 9-10), passives (scores 7-8), or detractors (scores 0-6). The NPS is then calculated by the \[% of promoters (scores 9 or 10) minus % detractors (scores 6 or lower)\] multiplied by 100. Possible scores ranges from -100 to +100. Scores \>0 indicate the component is acceptable. Negative scores indicate that a higher percentage of respondents were classified as detractors (scores 6 or lower) compared to promoters (scores 9 or 10). Only one score is calculated per support program type. There is no measure of central tendency for this outcome. See https://www.netpromoter.com/know/ for more information in how this score is calculated.
Feasibility of the Move Physical Activity Support Program - Quantitative	12 weeks	Feasibility of the Move physical activity support program will be assessed using the Perceived Characteristics of Intervention Scale (PCIS) collected only at the level of the provider. Scores range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating a better outcome.
Feasibility of Move Program Components, Measured With the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM)	12 weeks	Scores from the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (AIM) range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating higher acceptability.
Acceptability of Move Program Components, Measured With the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM)	12 weeks	Scores from the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating higher acceptability.
