Soccer-based Adaptation of the Diabetes Prevention Program

"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."
