Brief Summary

This study focuses on analyzing the data collected from participants in the Faculty/Staff Exercise Program to determine the success and quantifying the results of the program. The investigators are interested in the effectiveness of this program on multiple levels, individual and group, as it is the first of its kind - an exercise program targeting the faculty and staff at a university.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Height

  Objectively measured height in meters using a standard clinical stadiometer.

  Assessed once at baseline.

• Weight

  Objectively measured weight in kilograms using a standard clinical scale.

  Change from baseline weight at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.

• Systolic Blood Pressure

  Objectively measured systolic blood pressure in millimeters of Mercury using a standard Mercury sphygmomanometer.

  Change from baseline systolic blood pressure at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.

• Diastolic Blood Pressure

  Objectively measured diastolic blood pressure in millimeters of Mercury using a standard Mercury sphygmomanometer.

  Change from baseline diastolic blood pressure at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.

• High-Density Lipoprotein

  Objectively measured high-density lipoprotein in milligrams per deciliter using a standard assay kit.

  Change from baseline high-density lipoprotein at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.

• Low-Density Lipoprotein

  Objectively measured low-density lipoprotein in milligrams per deciliter using a standard assay kit.

  Change from baseline low-density lipoprotein at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.

• Total Serum Cholesteral

  Objectively measured total serum cholesterol in milligrams per deciliter using a standard assay kit.

  Change from baseline total serum cholesterol at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.

• Impaired Fasting Glucose

  Objectively measured impaired fasting glucose in milligrams per deciliter using a standard assay kit.

  Change from baseline impaired fasting glucose at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Accelerometer-Based Physical Activity

  Change from baseline accelerometer-based physical activity 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up using 1-minute epochs.

Other Outcomes (6)

• Sleep Quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)

  Change from baseline sleep quality at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.

• Depression (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21)

  Change from baseline depression at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.

• Anxiety (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21)

  Change from baseline anxiety at 4-weeks, 8-weeks, and 12-weeks follow-up.
