What the study is about

The purpose of this study is to conduct a test of a goals-based program to help people exercise more. This program was designed for individuals aged 45-65 from the Black community. Low levels of physical activity are related to health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. People of color are more negatively impacted by these conditions and have also historically been underrepresented by research seeking to increase physical activity. The investigators have developed this goals-based exercise promotion program with the help of a Black-led community-based organization (The Gyedi Project) and a Community Advisory Board made up of stakeholders in the Black community.

Being studied: Goal Setting and Exercise Intensity Intervention

Conditions: Cognitive Decline
