About the study

The study aims to test the benefits of a 24-week, cardio-emphasized Movement-to-Music exercise program for reversing cardiometabolic health risk factors compared to asynchronous, standard exercise programs among 132 adult wheelchair users. The targeted cardiometabolic health factors are waist circumference, triglycerides, "good" cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure. Additionally, a 12-week follow-up phase (weeks 25-36) is included to see whether the gains are maintained.

What is being tested

• Instructor-led, one-on-one M2M exercise group (other)
• Self-guided control with pre-recorded standard exercise videos (other)

Sponsor: University of Alabama at Birmingham · Participants: 132 · Started: Sep 11, 2023
