Brief Summary

This is a longitudinal pre-post pilot intervention study evaluating feasibility of implementation of a soccer-based Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and preliminary changes in physical activity and diet-related measures. Overweight participants at high risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) will be recruited through soccer interest groups, local leagues and Hispanic health organizations. After a baseline assessment visit, participants will attend soccer practice twice a week for 12 weeks while completing the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) core curriculum online modules with facilitated discussion by trained coaches during each soccer practice. Participants will then be invited to join an established small-sided soccer league in their community (for 12 weeks) offering one game per week and will also complete the NDPP maintenance modules and physical activity and diet self-tracking via mobile health technologies. After the core (first 12 weeks) and maintenance intervention periods (second 12 weeks) baseline measurements will be repeated. Data on the feasibility of this DPP soccer-based adaptation will inform future randomized, controlled trials testing the effectiveness of this translation model to reduce T2DM risk while extrapolating to other sports-based adaptation and age, gender and racial sub-populations.

Study Arms (1)

Soccer-based adaptation to the DPP

EXPERIMENTAL

Hispanic overweight male participants taking part in a 24 week soccer program as part of diabetes prevention.

Behavioral: Soccer-based adaptation to the DPP

Interventions

Participants will complete online education modules during an initial 12 week conditioning phase where they will participate in soccer drills and other fitness routines (two 1-hour sessions per week). At the 12 week mark participants will transition onto a soccer league team for the following 12 weeks where they will continue to complete online modules and meet with the soccer coach monthly. During the soccer sessions and games participants will be fitted with a wearable soccer-specific device to measure how much they move and their heart rate. In addition, they will also be asked to wear a Garmin fitness tracker for the duration of the study to measure steps and moderate and vigorous activity. The online education will be a version of the Diabetes Prevention Program and can be completed on a phone or computer with internet access.
