2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Exercise and Dietary Weight LossExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
For the first 6 months, participants will meet at a community center for 3 group-based sessions and 1 individual session each month. Sessions include a 45 minute exercise component and a 45 minute dietary weight loss component. Exercise will consist of progressive aerobic and strength training. The dietary component will focus on decreasing caloric intake, while being nutritionally safe. All diets will be monitored by a Registered Dietitian. During months 7-12, participants will meet for 1 group session and 1 individual session per month. The final 12-24 months, bimonthly phone calls are provided to the participants to aid in retention efforts.
Group II: Walk with EaseActive Control1 Intervention
The Arthritis Foundation's (AF) WWE is a self-management program for symptoms of arthritis (pain, fatigue, stiffness,etc.) through exercise. It is a 6 week program involving 3 sessions per week each lasting about 60 minutes. The WWE sessions are comprised of walking, stretching and strengthening exercises, and health education lectures. These group classes will be lead by an AF instructor. Each participant will complete 2 consecutive WWE classes for a total of 12 weeks in the program. During the final week of the program, participants will be trained and transitioin to the self-directed version of WWE for maintenance of exercise. To aid in retention efforts, phone contacts are provided to participants on a monthly basis from 4-12 months and bi-monthly from 12 to 24 months
