Sicklefit RCT - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
In this study, participants will complete two or three in-person visits where they answer surveys and walk for six minutes. After that, they will be placed into one of two groups. One group will start the exercise and nutrition program right away, and the other group will start the program later.
The program lasts for twelve weeks. During this time, there will be classes three times each week that last one hour. There will also be a nutrition session every other week. Participants do not need to attend every session, but they are asked to come to at least two thirds of the classes.
Sickle cell disease
Who Can Participate in the Study?
Adults who are older than 35 years and have sickle cell disease can join the study. People cannot join if they are pregnant, use oxygen all the time, or have a heart problem that is not stable or is very serious.
What is Involved?
SickleFit RCT is a small study that tests an exercise and nutrition program for older adults. It is called a pilot study because it helps the researchers see what works well and what needs to be changed before they create a larger study in many different places.
