Overweight and Obese Adults, Physical Inactivity
Conditions
Brief summary
The objective of this study is to design and refine an activity support program, called Movámonos, for adults with overweight or obesity who speak Spanish. The primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the Movámonos physical activity support program.
Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to pilot test a 12-week physical activity support program, called Movámonos, designed for Spanish-speaking adults with overweight or obesity. Movámonos includes four intervention components: 1) weekly 60-minute group-based classes, 2) 3, 45-minute individualized support sessions, 3) group fitness classes, 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 the participant perspective.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Program Acceptability - Qualitative | 3 months | Acceptability of the physical activity support program will be assessed with results of the semi-structured focus groups or interviews from the participant perspective. |
| Program Feasibility - Qualitative | 3 months | Feasibility of the physical activity support program will be assessed with results of the semi-structured focus groups or interviews from the participant perspective. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Program Acceptability - Quantitative | 3 months | Acceptability of the physical activity support program components will be assessed using the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) from the participant perspective. Scores range from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating a better outcome. |
| Program Feasibility - Quantitative | 3 months | Feasibility of the physical activity support program will be assessed using the Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM). Scores range from 0 to 5, with higher scores indicating a better outcome. |
