---|---|---|---|
01 | McKibbin et al. [11] |
↓ BMI (N = 52, F(1,50) = 10.40, p < 0.01) ↓ Abdominal circumference (N = 52, F(1,50) = 6.60, p < 0.05) |
↓ Diabetes knowledge = Glycated hemoglobin = Energy expendidure |
02 | Brown et al. [36] | ↓ Weight between groups at the end of intervention period (N = 92, F = 6.936, p = 0.01), but not at 6 (F = 1.527, p = 0.22) or 12 months (F = 0.522, p = 0.47) | ↓ Weight between settings |
03 | Green et al. [37] |
↓ Weight Baseline to 6-months (N = 178, F = 11.9, df = 1,171, p = 0.001) Baseline to 6-months (N = 168, F = 4.9, df = 1,161, p = 0.03) |
↓ Glucose = Insulin = Blood pressure = Triglycerides = LDL = HDL |
04 | Browne et al. [35]** |
↑ Physical health (N = 16, Posttest: d = 0.39; follow-up: d = 0.30)**** ↑ Activity level (N = 16, Posttest: d = from 0.33 to 3.19; follow-up: d = from 0.02 to 1.36) ↑ Social support (N = 16, Posttest: d = 0.11; follow-up: d = 0.25) ↑ Mental health (N = 16, Posttest: d = from -0.06 to 0.72; follow-up: d = from 0.00 to 0.41) |
= BMI = Weight = Systolic blood pressure = Diastolic blood pressure = Resting heart rate ↑ pedometer adherence among intervention group Moderate to high levels of acceptability High levels of satisfaction with reporting daily steps |
05 | Aschbrenner et al. [33] | = Weight and Physical activity (N = 13) |
↑ Attendance ↑ Satisfaction ↓ Cardiovascular risk |
06 | Aschbrenner et al. [34] | ↓ Weight (N = 25, t = 3.13, df = 24, p = 0.005) |
= cardiovascular risk ↑ Participants’ perceptions of peer group support and ↓ weight |
07 | Holt et al. [38] | = Weight (N = 340, p = 0.963) |
= Dietary habits = Smoking habits = Quality of life = Obesity perception = Psychiatric symptoms = Abdominal circumference ↑ Physical activity |
08 | Looijmans et al. [32] | = Waist circumference (N = 238, β = 2.26, p = 0.45) |
= Metabolic syndrome = BMI |
01 | Williams et al. [31] | ↑ acceptability, feasibility, and recruitment rates |
= Sedentary behavior = Blood pressure ↓ Metabolic syndrome |
*Comparison between intervention group (or equivalent) and control group after the end of intervention (or follow-up assessment)
** Given the small sample size and nature of the pilot study, formal inferential statistics are not appropriate, within-group effect sizes for continuous outcome variables were computed to evaluate the magnitude of pre-post and follow-up
**** Effect sizes were calculated by dividing the mean difference (baseline to posttest and baseline to follow-up) by the baseline standard deviation, and evaluated as ranges small (d = 0.20), medium (d = 0.50), and large (d = 0.80)
