Study Summary

This trial tests if exercise can help obese adults stay fit and healthy.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with obesity who are not very active, have a BMI of 30 or higher, and don't exercise much (less than 150 minutes of moderate activity per week). They must be able to use the internet regularly and track their physical activity. People can't join if they're pregnant, planning to get pregnant soon, have mobility issues, need supervised exercise due to certain conditions like stroke or heart disease unless cleared by a doctor.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests the PATH intervention—a web-based program designed to increase physical activity—against an attention control group that receives dietary education. Participants will also use a physical activity tracker to monitor their progress.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves lifestyle changes rather than medication, side effects may include muscle soreness or injury from new physical activities. The risk is low but participants should start any new exercise gradually and under guidance.

What are the objectives of this research endeavor?

"As the main metric of this trial, its researchers will measure participants' adherence to physical activity guidelines across a baseline and 6-month period. Secondly, changes in weight (measured in kilograms), systolic blood pressure (normally <120 mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure (generally <80 mmHg) are being monitored as well."
