Nutrition & Exercise for Women - Time Commitment and Cost

How long will the study last?

All participants will participate for one year, with several screening visits before the program begins and additional visits after the one-year period. The exercise group participants will be asked to participate in 5 exercise sessions per week, including three facility-based and two home-based exercise sessions. The diet group will have weekly and monthly meetings. The exercise and diet combined group will have up to four meetings per week (3 with a trainer, one with the nutritionist). All participants will also be asked to complete follow-up testing and questionnaires at the end of the one-year period. Participants in the delayed invervention group will be offered two months of exercise training and 4 meetings with a nutrition expert at the end of the year.
