Summary

This trial will test whether adding a recreational sport to the National Diabetes Prevention Program will help people at risk for Type 2 diabetes lose weight and better manage their blood sugar.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults aged 18-44 with a BMI of 25 or higher who have prediabetes (HbA1c levels between 5.7 to 6.4%). Participants should be able to walk and jump unassisted, not exercise more than 300 minutes per week, and must not have been in another lifestyle program recently. Those with Type 1 Diabetes, serious heart conditions, recent cancer treatment, or other major health issues can't join.

What is being tested?

The study tests if adding basketball to the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP) helps people lose more weight, lower their A1c levels (a blood sugar marker), and become more active compared to the standard NDPP alone. Participants will either follow the regular NDPP or do it plus play recreational basketball.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves physical activity through basketball, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, sprains or strains from playing sports. The standard NDPP has no reported physical side effects but requires commitment to lifestyle changes.

Active Control

Group I: NDPP + Basketball (BB)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants in this arm will participate in the traditional NDPP program delivered virtually by certified NDPP coaches along with virtual fitness sessions and in-person basketball sessions. During Months 1-4, participants will attend a 60-minute virtually facilitated session of the NDPP curriculum, followed by a 30-minute virtual fitness session. During that same week, participants will meet in person, for a 90-minute BB session. During Months 5-8, virtual NDPP curriculum sessions will be held every two weeks and there will no longer be a 30-minute online fitness session succeeding the session. During this same four-month period, 60-minute, in-person BB sessions will be held weekly. During Months 9-12, participants will attend a monthly 60-minute NDPP curriculum session and bi-weekly 60-minute in-person BB sessions. Participants will submit a weekly weight report during the 12 month participation and will complete the ASA 24 hour food recall every 90 days.
