Overview
Brief Summary
The Strong People Strength Training study aims to assess whether a community-based progressive strength training program can improve risk factors for diabetes and heart disease in older rural adults.
Detailed Description
This study aims to evaluate the effects of a twice weekly, 12-week progressive strength training program, Strong People Strength Training, on cardiometabolic risk factors in a pragmatic, community-based randomized intervention trial among rural men and women 50 and older. We hypothesize that individuals randomized to the intervention group will demonstrate statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors as well as physical function, quality of life, and physical activity compared to those randomized to the delayed intervention control group.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change from Baseline Hemoglobin A1c at 12 Weeks
Time Frame: Baseline and outcome (after 12 weeks)
The hemoglobin A1c test tells you your average level of blood sugar over the past 2 to 3 months. It's also called HbA1c.
Change from Baseline BMI at 12 Weeks
Time Frame: Baseline and outcome (after 12 weeks)
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women.
Change from Baseline Weight at 12 Weeks
Time Frame: Baseline and outcome (after 12 weeks)
body weight
Change from Baseline in American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 score at 12 Weeks
Time Frame: Baseline and outcome (after 12 weeks)
The American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7 score is comprised of seven cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors: physical activity, healthy diet score, blood glucose, BMI, blood cholesterol, blood pressure, and smoking; each risk factor is categorized as ideal, intermediate, or poor. Minimum value is 0, Maximum value is 14. Higher scores on the scale represent a better outcome.
