Study Summary

This trial will test a 6-week home-based exercise and group counseling program to help people be more physically active and improve their mental wellbeing.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for Black women living in the Twin Cities area who are over 18, lead a sedentary lifestyle with less than 30 minutes of physical activity and fewer than two days of strength training per week. Participants must own a smartphone, be willing to wear an accelerometer, attend weekly Zoom sessions, and participate in a focus group after the six-week study.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a six-week at-home strength training program versus waiting for intervention. The active group will receive digital workouts three times per week, weekly exercise and counseling via Zoom, motivational messages on WhatsApp, and encouragement to discuss activity-related topics within the group.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this is a physical activity intervention focusing on home-based workouts and behavioral support rather than medication or medical procedures, specific side effects are not anticipated beyond typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: At-Home Strength Training GroupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants in this arm will undergo an in-person meeting before the start of the study to meet each other, go over movements to minimize risk of injury, and to discuss intervention logistics. Then, for six weeks, participants will be sent five workouts at the start of each week (Monday). Participants will choose 2 or 3 to complete on their own. Additionally, participants will have a weekly Zoom meeting in which 30 minutes will be dedicated to exercising, and 30 minutes will be for group counseling.

Group II: Wait-List Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention

This will be a wait-list control group. Participants at the end of the study will have the option to complete the full, partial, or none of the intervention.
