Summary

Hockey Fans in Training (Hockey FIT) is a 12-month (3-month active phase and 9-month minimally-supported phase) weight loss and healthy lifestyle program for middle-aged, male hockey fans with overweight or obesity, delivered by trained coaches in collaboration with major junior or professional hockey teams and implementation partners (e.g., YMCAs, local fitness facilities, and universities) in Canada and the United States.

In the proposed study, a minimum of 32 sites (affiliated with hockey teams and local implementation partners) will be randomly assigned to either immediate delivery (Hockey FIT program) or delayed delivery (wait-list control). At each site, male hockey fans at risk for chronic diseases will be recruited to take part in the study (note: the goal is to recruit approximately 40 men/site). Sites assigned to the delayed delivery group will offer the Hockey FIT program to their enrolled participants after 12 months.

Through the Hockey FIT program, the investigators aim to promote weight loss, increase physical activity levels, and improve other health measures through a cost-effective solution that is acceptable and appealing to men who have overweight or obesity.
