No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about moderate-intensity indoor cycling interventions in women's sport student-athletes transitioning into college and collegiate sport. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

Aim 1: Establish preliminary feasibility for the intervention based on recruitment and retention rates.

Aim 2: Assess efficacy through comparison of pre- and post-intervention mental health outcomes scores between experimental and control groups.

Exploratory Aim 3: Explore associations between exercise, athletic, and academic identities and mental health issues post-intervention.

Participants will complete an online questionnaire. This online questionnaire will be given before the program begins and after the 4 weeks. The questionnaire will ask about the participants' basic information, the participants' experience with exercise, and the participants' transition experience including mental, physical, and social factors.

Participants will be asked to attend an in-person 45-minute exercise class once a week at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) Student Recreation Center.

Participants enrolled in the program will be asked to complete a self-report form during each weekly practice including heart rate (before and after practice) and ratings of perceived exertion. Heart rate will be measured during practice, smart devices (i.e., Apple Watch, FitBit) are not required.
