Physician Guided Approach to Increasing Awareness and Sustainability of Physical Activity for Overweight Adults With Mobility Limitations
The purpose of this study is to increase the physical activity among overweight individuals
with mobility limitations.
Regular, sustainable physical activity can have a dramatic effect on reducing obesity and
other secondary conditions and increasing quality of life. People with mobility limitations
have a higher level of physical inactivity resulting from numerous personal and
environmental barriers to physical activity participation. This project will evaluate the
feasibility of increasing physical activity among overweight individuals with mobility
limitations through a physician-referred program that connects participants to the National
Center on Physical Activity and Disability (NCPAD).
