Summary

PEACH is a pilot project which is being conducted to determine the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week home-based exercise intervention among Black and African American adults. A secondary aim of the project is to determine whether the exercise intervention improves cognitive and psychological functioning.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Home-based aerobic exercise

Guidelines for exercise programming (ACSM, 2018) will be followed including a warmup and cool down, progressive and gradual increments in duration, and instruction regarding avoidance of physical activity related injury. The exercise group will receive moderate to vigorous intensity aerobic exercise for 60 minutes per day, three times a week, for 12 weeks. Participants who are unable to do a 60-minute session would instead complete it in two 30-minute sessions. The prescribed intensity will be based on estimated heart rate reserve, calculated using resting heart rate and age-adjusted heart rate maximum (220-age in years). Participants will maintain a minimum heart rate from their specific calculation that will be monitored by Polar Heart Rate straps.
