Physical Activity and Community Empowerment (PACE)
Description of Study
The researchers of this project are focused on building supportive communities. They have developed and studied a novel exercise program, publishing data on its positive impact on increasing step counts and supporting weight loss for a group of 40 individuals. In addition, their team and collaborators have organized an inclusive group fitness class based on the program.
They are ready to expand these programs to meet the needs of more people through their clinical trial.
