Study Details

Brief summary:

Investigators will examine the feasibility and health outcomes following a high-intensity functional training intervention for people with mobility-related disabilities. In addition to participant recruitment, attritions rates, and satisfaction, investigators will assess changes to both physical health outcomes (e.g., strength, body composition) and psychosocial outcomes (e.g., quality of life). The findings will provide evidence for the efficacy of HIFT to improve various health outcomes for a population that experiences health disparities in access to, and engagement in, community-based exercise.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: HIFT for People with MRD

12-week, thrice weekly HIFT intervention for adults with MRD at a local facility that currently hosts HIFT for people with disability and, thus, is conducive to the training needs of individuals with MRD. We will provide financial support for 12-week membership costs, transportation, and participant compensation for completing pre- and post-intervention assessments. Baseline and post-intervention testing will include assessments of weight, body composition, flexibility, and strength, in addition to quality of life, sense of community, self-determination, sleep, and life satisfaction. Each participant will also have energy expenditure assessed during two, randomly selected HIFT sessions during the 12-wk intervention.

Interventions

HIFT for people with MRD

12-wk, 3x/week HIFT participation for individuals with MRD

Primary outcome measure

  • Body Mass Index [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline BMI at 13 weeks (post-intervention) ]
  • Skinfold [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline 3-site skinfolds at 13 weeks (post-intervention) ]
  • Strength [ Time Frame: Change from baseline strenghth at 13 weeks (post-intervention) ]
  • Flexibility [ Time Frame: Change from Baseline flexibility at 13 weeks (post-intervention) ]
  • Strength 5-repeition max [ Time Frame: Change in Week 2 strength at week 12 of the intervention ]
  • Work Capacity [ Time Frame: Change in baseline work capacity at weeks 10 and 12 of the intervention ]
