Treatment Summary: | Only Group 1 participants continue on to the exercise training program, which lasts 48 weeks. Follow-up measurements of the clinical and functional tests are performed at 16, 32, and 48 weeks; values at 16 weeks will be used for the current proposal to assure adequate sample size. Exercise sessions are performed at the Choctaw Wellness Centers, where fitness professionals provide instruction and supervision. Participants receive incentives for completing 20-60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) on 3 days per week. MVPA is defined as exercise that elicits a heart rate ≥ 70% of peak heart rate. Several types of exercise can be selected, including walking, running, cycling, aerobic dance or other activities. To promote healthy behavior within the community and foster social support, all participants are invited to exercise with family members or friends if they choose. Exercise intensity is monitored by recording heart rate with a chest strap transmitter that outputs to a computer for quantification and data storage. Training sessions are also recorded in an exercise log by each participant and confirmed by fitness center staff. |
