This pilot study investigates the effects of a newly developed 12-week weight management program called "GameDay Ready" (compared to a walking and general health education program) for decreasing body weight among Black men who live in the rural South. The researchers expect to see evidence of greater weight loss among participants randomized to receive the "GameDay Ready" program.

| GameDay Ready | Behavioral | GameDay Ready is a 12-week, group-based behavioral weight management program in which participants will meet in-person once per week at a publicly accessible walking track. The GameDay Ready program promotes increasing physical activity, reducing sedentary time, and improving dietary habits through education, behavioral self-monitoring, and goal setting. Each 60-minute intervention session includes a brief educational component followed by a group discussion of weekly progress. Following a short warmup walk, participants engage in group-based competitive physical activities and then a short cooldown walk. Participants then set individual and group-based goals for the upcoming week and discuss strategies for overcoming barriers to achieving goals. The program is sensitive to intersectional influences of gender, race, and rurality on health; and strategies to enhance motivation are threaded throughout the program. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Body weight | Participants' body weight will be measured in pounds using a portable, professional-grade scale. Changes in body weight will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Body mass index (BMI) | Participants' body weight will be measured in pounds using a portable, professional-grade scale, and height will be measured using a portable, professional-grade stadiometer. BMI will be computed as weight (lb) / [height (in)]2 x 703. Changes in BMI will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Neighborhood surroundings | Neighborhood surroundings will be measured using the neighborhood surroundings subscale of the Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Neighborhood safety |

| Walking and General Health Education | Behavioral | Participants receiving the comparison program will complete a 12-week walking and general health education program. Group sessions meet once per week at a publicly accessible walking track, and each 60-minute session consists of a brief educational component on a health topic followed by walking and socializing during the remainder of the session. |
|
| Waist circumference (WC) | Participants' WC will be measured using anthropometric measuring tape. Changes in WC will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Blood pressure (BP) | Participants' systolic and diastolic BP will be measured using an automatic blood pressure machine. Changes in BP will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) | Average minutes of MVPA will be measured over 7 consecutive days using research-grade, wrist-worn accelerometers (ActiGraph). Changes in MVPA will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Fruit and vegetable consumption | Fruit and vegetable consumption will be measured using the National Cancer Institute's Dietary Screener Questionnaire that was used in the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Changes in fruit and vegetable consumption will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Added sugar consumption | Added sugar consumption will be measured using the National Cancer Institute's Dietary Screener Questionnaire that was used in the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Changes in added sugar consumption will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Whole grain consumption | Whole grain consumption will be measured using the National Cancer Institute's Dietary Screener Questionnaire that was used in the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Changes in whole grain consumption will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Social support for exercise and diet | Social support for exercise and diet will be measured using validated scales developed by Sallis et al. Changes in social support for exercise and diet will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Perceived environmental support for physical activity | Perceived environmental support for physical activity will be measured using the 33-item Rural Active Living Perceived Environmental Support Scale. Changes in perceived environmental support for physical activity will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Motivation for weight loss | Motivation for weight loss will be measured using an 8-item Weight Control Motivation Scale. Changes in motivation for weight loss will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
| Motivation for healthy eating | Motivation for healthy eating will be measured using a 15-item scale of the Treatment Self-Regulation Questionnaire. Changes in motivation for healthy eating will be compared between the intervention and comparison programs. | Baseline, post-intervention (12 weeks), and 3 months post-intervention |
