Summary

The limited success of our current approaches to increase adoption and maintenance of physical activity in adults with overweight and obesity is a substantial barrier to effectively address the current obesity epidemic. This mentored F32 application addresses the significant public health issue of obesity and associated risk of major chronic diseases by using mixed methods research to optimize an innovative, theoretically based physical activity intervention designed to enhance motivation for exercise in adults with overweight and obesity.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

MOVE

The MOVE physical activity support program is based on the Self-Determination Theory and targets autonomous motivation for physical activity by encouraging 1) choice in physical activity type (e.g. walking, household chores, yoga), 2) a meaningful, value-based rationale for engaging in physical activity, and 3) physical activity that is intrinsically enjoyable. MOVE was delivered during two, 60-75 minute group-based classes and one, 45 minute individualized 1:1 support session to enhance adherence to physical activity recommendations within a lifestyle weight loss program. The group-based classes included a combination of PowerPoint slides, participant handouts, and group-based discussions. All MOVE content was delivered by trained study staff.
