Participants will learn to rock climb using ropes on an indoor rock climbing wall and participate in the training program 2-3 days per week for 60 minutes each session over 12 weeks. Health outcomes will be measured at 4 time points over the course of the study (pre-intervention, 6-weeks/mid-intervention, 12-weeks/post-intervention, and 24-weeks post-intervention)., conditionsModule conditions: Lifestyle Factors, conditions: Physical Inactivity, conditions: Quality of Life, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: Randomized controlled trial with participants allocated to either a control or intervention group; comparison between groups and within groups, primaryPurpose: PREVENTION, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 12, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Indoor Rock Climbing Exercise Training Program, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Fasting lipids, primaryOutcomes measure: Fasting glucose, primaryOutcomes measure: Hemoglobin a1c, secondaryOutcomes measure: Physical activity and sedentary behavior, secondaryOutcomes measure: Sedentary behavior bouts (30 min, 60 min, >60 min), secondaryOutcomes measure: Cardiorespiratory fitness, secondaryOutcomes measure: Muscular fitness, secondaryOutcomes measure: Handgrip strength asymmetry, secondaryOutcomes measure: Lower-body dynamic balance, secondaryOutcomes measure: Health-related quality of life using CDC Health-Related Quality of Life Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Exercise self-efficacy measured via Self-efficacy for exercise scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Perceptions of exercise measured via Views and Attitudes Toward Exercise Scale, secondaryOutcomes measure: Perceived stress, secondaryOutcomes measure: Blood pressure, secondaryOutcomes measure: Body composition, secondaryOutcomes measure: Bone density, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 35 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Northern Michigan University, status: RECRUITING, city: Marquette, state: Michigan, zip: 49855, country: United States, contacts name: Lisa Eckert, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 906-227-1291, email: leckert@nmu.edu, contacts name: Megan C Nelson, PhD, role: PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR, geoPoint lat: 46.54354, lon: -87.39542, hasResults: False
