Descripción detallada
There is a body of evidence that has evaluated the effect of Weight Watchers, a commercially available weight loss program, on changes in body weight. The current investigation aims to add to this body of evidence by providing additional data on changes in body weight and enhance the current evidence-base in regards to evaluating other health-related outcomes.
There is no evidence that demonstrates whether or not the weight loss as a result of the Weight Watchers program elicits changes in health-related outcomes related to aerobic capacity, flexibility, functional fitness, sleep, and other psychological measures. Additionally, within a scientific research protocol, measures of adherence and satisfaction have not been evaluated. This study will evaluate these outcomes beyond weight changes achieved across the 24-week program.

Program Adherence
Periodo de tiempo: 6 months
|
Data on adherence (attendance at meetings and use of the points system) will also be collected.
Attendance data will be recorded by Weight Watchers staff at every meeting.
These data will be confirmed by a member of the research staff that will be attending the weekly Weight Watchers meetings.
In addition, the weekly weights obtained at the intervention sessions will be provided to the investigators by the intervention staff to allow for examination of the trajectory of weight loss.

Change in Aerobic Capacity, Functional Fitness, Balance, Flexibility
Periodo de tiempo: 6 months
|
Aerobic Capacity: Participants will complete a 6 minute walk test on a designated walking course. The 6 minute walk test is a measure of functional and aerobic capacity. Participants will asked to walk at a brisk, yet comfortable pace for a total of 6 minutes. Functional Fitness and Balance: The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is a group of measures that combines the results of the gait speed, chair stand and balance tests to measure functional fitness. Flexibility: Lower body flexibility will be assessed through the sit and reach test. The sit and reach is a common test to measure lower back and lower body flexibility. This will be collected 3 times with the best of 3 scores utilized. |
