An interventional study of Resistance Training in Overweight or Obesity, Prediabetes or Diabetes and Prehypertension (Elevated Blood Pressure) or Hypertension, sponsored by University of Alabama at Birmingham. Active, not recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to female participants aged 30 Years to 64 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-14.

The purpose of this study is to collect preliminary data on the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effects of a novel, remotely delivered resistance training program.
This trial will enroll Black women with elevated cardiometabolic risk (e.g., overweight or obesity, pre- or established diabetes, and elevated or high blood pressure) in early-to-middle adulthood (n=36; age=30-64 years) with insufficient resistance training (RT) participation. This 4-month single group pilot trial evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, and potential effects of a novel, remotely-delivered resistance training (RT) intervention. All participants will engage in RT during this trial and the web-based platform is the primary modality through which the remote RT intervention is delivered. Assessments are conducted at baseline and follow-up (month 4). Aim 1 will examine the feasibility and acceptability of the remotely delivered RT program. Aim 2 will examine the potential effects on RT behaviors. Aim 3 will examine the potential effects on clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
