简要总结
This pilot study investigates the effects of a newly developed 12-week weight management program called "GameDay Ready" (compared to a walking and general health education program) for decreasing body weight among Black men who live in the rural South. The researchers expect to see evidence of greater weight loss among participants randomized to receive the "GameDay Ready" program.
