Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
30-min walk
Instructed to use "brisk" walking (at least 30 min/day in bouts of at least 10 min) at least 5 days/week. Participants were permitted to exercise in one long bout (30 min) or divide the exercise into multiple bouts as long as the bout length was 10 min or greater.
30-min walk
Participants were instructed to use "brisk" walking (at least 30 min/day in bouts of at least 10 min) at least 5 days/week. Both conditions will receive an ankle mounted Omron pedometer, so they were able to track their steps each day. Participants were not given instructions concerning diet modification or modifying TV viewing time during a 6 month behavioral physical activity intervention
TV commercial stepping
Instructed to stand and "briskly" step in place, or "briskly" walk continuously around the room/house for the duration of each commercial break during at least 90 min of TV programming on at least 5 days/week. Rather than exercising continuously for at least 10-minute bouts, participants performed multiple (\~9 or 10), short (\~3-5 min) bouts, conveniently incorporated into their daily TV viewing time.
