"GameDay Ready: Evaluating a Behavioral Weight Management Program for Black Men Living in the Rural South"

GameDay Ready is a 12-week, group-based behavioral weight management program in which participants will meet in-person once per week at a publicly accessible walking track. Each weekly session will be led by a trained facilitator and will include a brief educational component, participant updates on progress, group discussions about overcoming barriers, supervised competitive physical activities, and goal setting for the upcoming week. Educational content will be reinforced and social support will be provided during warmup and cool down walks. Participants will be asked to set behavioral goals toward increasing physical activity and improving dietary habits and will be provided resources to self-monitor their activity, dietary intake, and weight.
