Summary

The primary objective of this study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a 12-week behavioral weight management intervention adapted for Black men living in the rural South. The intervention is guided by Self-Determination Theory of Motivation, Social Cognitive Theory, and Ecological Systems Theory. Key aspects of the intervention include a football-themed curriculum, facilitator and peer concordance to the extent possible (ie., similarly aged Black men), an emphasis on male-specific health concerns, group-based competition at multiple levels of the intervention (e.g., during in-person physical activity sessions and for achieving behavioral goals), a limited educational component, and physical activity being a substantial component of meeting sessions.

GameDay Ready Program

GameDay Ready is a 12-week, group-based behavioral weight management program in which participants will meet in-person once per week at a publicly accessible walking track. Each weekly session will be led by a trained facilitator and will include a brief educational component, participant updates on progress, group discussions about overcoming barriers, supervised competitive physical activities, and goal setting for the upcoming week. Educational content will be reinforced and social support will be provided during warmup and cool down walks. Participants will be asked to set behavioral goals toward increasing physical activity and improving dietary habits and will be provided resources to self-monitor their activity, dietary intake, and weight.
