Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study will use a two-arm, pilot pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. The investigators will conduct the study in conjunction with two Ontario Junior A Hockey Clubs. Following assessment of eligibility and baseline measurements, men will be individually randomized (1:1; stratified by club) to either the intervention group (receiving the Hockey FIT program) or to the comparison group (usual care wait-list control). The comparison group will be offered to start the Hockey FIT program after a 12-week delay. All men (both intervention and comparison groups) will receive publicly available healthy eating and physical activity materials at baseline. Measurements will be taken at baseline and 12 weeks (both groups) and again at 12 months (intervention group only).
The results of this study will be used to inform a fully-powered RCT where the primary objective will be to determine whether, compared to the usual care wait-list control group, the Hockey FIT group will lose weight (at least 5% weight loss from baseline) at 12 months.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Hockey FIT program
12-week active phase - exercise and healthy living program (1x/week; 90 minutes/session); 40-week maintenance phase (individualized approach)
Hockey FIT Program
Active phase: a) Classroom-based education on successful weight management strategies and instruction on behaviour change techniques/dietary interventions; promote peer and other forms of social support; and b) Physical activity sessions in aerobic/strength/flexibility exercises. Maintenance phase: Participants independently set new lifestyle prescriptions and goals and track their exercise, physical activity, and healthy eating with the support of a suite of free-of-charge health technology support tools
Usual-care wait-list control
No active intervention (usual care)
No interventions assigned to this group
