Summary

South Asian (SA) women living in Ontario have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease (CHD) compared to the general population. Various explanations for these differences have been established, one of which is based on low levels of physical activity in people of SA origin, particularly in Muslim women.

This pilot trial will test the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of a Mosque-based exercise and educational intervention designed for SA Muslim women.

1. What is the feasibility of a mosque-based intervention to promote physical activity that is culturally and gender sensitive to South Asian Muslim women?
2. What is the acceptability of a mosque-based intervention to promote physical activity that is culturally and gender sensitive to South Asian Muslim women?
