Interventions

The EuroFIT programme is designed to support men to become more active, less sedentary, improve their diet, and maintain these changes long term. It is delivered through twelve, weekly, 90-minute, g

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - men; - aged 30 to 65 (based on self-report data at initial screening); - who have a self-reported BMI >=27 kg/m2 at initial screening; - who consent to randomisation.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - who do not provide at least 4 out of 7 days of usable data from objective measurement of physical activity/sedentary time (activPAL) at baseline. This will be checked by researchers preceding further baseline measurement, men will be provided with an extra possibility to wear the activPAL when providing not enough data is due to malfunctioning of the device, if time permits; - who answer *yes* on one of the section 2 questions of the self-reported PAR-Q+ screening instrument; - who already participate in some sort of health promotion programme at their club, when the trial starts.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Primary outcome measures are changes to total sedentary time (i.e. minutes per day) and total physical activity (i.e. steps per day) at 12 months objectively measured with ActivPAL.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcomes are changes in self-reported physical activity and sedentary time, food intake, body weight, BMI, waist circumference, diastolic and systolic blood pressure, cardio-metabolic disease risk biomarkers related to glucose, insulin, HbA1c, lipids and liver function, self-reported general physical health, wellbeing, self-esteem, vitality and quality of life. Cost effectiveness will be assessed and a process evaluation will be conducted. Outcomes for the replication measures (comparison group only) are changes to total sedentary time (i.e. minutes per day) and total physical activity (i.e. steps per day) objectively measured with ActivPAL after participation in the program by the comparison group since 12 month measures. Additional outcomes are weight, BMI, waist, self reported wellbeing, food intake and injuries.	—
