Measure
Soccer-based Adaptation to the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)
Participants taking part in a 24 week soccer program as part of diabetes prevention. Participants completed online education modules during an initial 12 week conditioning phase where they participated in soccer drills and other fitness routines (two 1-hour sessions per week). At the 12 week mark participants transitioned onto a soccer league team for the following 12 weeks where they continued to complete online modules and meet with the soccer coach monthly. During the soccer sessions and games participants were fitted with a wearable soccer-specific device to measure how much they move and their heart rate. Additionally, they were asked to wear a Garmin fitness tracker for the duration of the study to measure steps and moderate and vigorous activity.

The dietary behavior of consumption of fruit was measured by using the NDSR 24-hour dietary recall. The NDSR is a dietary analysis software application used to collect and calculate nutritional intake. The NDSR calculates the number of servings from 7 subcategories including citrus fruits, fruits other than citrus, avocado, as well as processed fruits. Serving amounts for all fruit are calculated by the NDSR software based on standard serving sizes for each specific food item. The total servings from all subcategories are reported here.

The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) includes 7-items asking respondents how many days in the past week they participated in vigorous, moderate and mild activities and how many minutes per day they spent on those activities. Data collected with IPAQ can be reported as a continuous measure and is computed by weighting each type of activity by its energy requirements defined in Metabolic Equivalent of Tasks (METs) to yield a score in MET-minutes (the MET score of an activity multiplied by the minutes performed). MET-minutes per week will be compared between study time points.
