To assess whether the concept of a walking bus program is a viable option for increasing physical activity and weight loss among overweight and obese adults
A pilot study was conducted where 45overweight and obese participants were monitored over an 8 week period and their walking bus use and weight changes were measured longitudinally.
Participants who utilized the walking bus were more likely than those who did not use the walking bus to lose weight. Black walking bus users were less likely to lose weight than non-black walking bus users. 98% of participants said they would likely participate in a walking bus program again.
Walking buses programs are a viable option to promote weight loss among overweight and obese adults.
评估步行巴士计划的理念对于超重和肥胖成年人增加身体活动量及减轻体重是否是一个可行的选择。
开展了一项试点研究，对45名超重和肥胖参与者进行了为期8周的监测，并纵向测量了他们使用步行巴士的情况和体重变化。
使用步行巴士的参与者比未使用步行巴士的参与者更有可能减重。黑人步行巴士使用者比非黑人步行巴士使用者减重的可能性更小。98%的参与者表示他们可能会再次参加步行巴士计划。
步行巴士计划是促进超重和肥胖成年人减重的一个可行选择。
