Increasing Physical Activity Among Overweight Women With Mobility Disabilities.

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Obesity

• Registration Number: NCT00164515
• Lead Sponsor: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Brief Summary

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

Detailed 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).
