Study summary

This two-group, parallel, individually randomized controlled trial will evaluate a brief, live, online Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based physical literacy program among 60 socioeconomically disadvantaged adult women living with overweight. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention group or a waitlist control group.

The intervention consists of six weekly approximately 60-minute online group sessions integrating the six ACT processes with adult physical literacy education, guided movement, and graded home-based exercise snacks, followed by an independent-practice week and an approximately 60-minute booster session. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, immediately before the booster following completion of the six core sessions, and at post-booster follow-up. The study will compare changes between the intervention and waitlist control groups over the study period.

Inclusion criteria

  • Eligibility required: (a) age 18 to 64 years old; (b) residence in Gümüşpala, Avcılar, Istanbul; (c) of 25.0-29.9 kg/m²; (d) annual equivalized net disposable household income below TRY 144,690, the 60%-of-median threshold in the 2025 Turkish Statistical Institute poverty statistics, based on the 2024 income reference period (Turkish Statistical Institute, 2025); (e) no completion of high school (ISCED Levels 0-2; UNESCO Institute for Statistics, 2012); (f) ability to read and understand Turkish; (g) access to a smartphone, WhatsApp, and the internet; (h) willingness to complete all assessments; and (i) written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • pregnancy or childbirth within the previous six months; a medical or musculoskeletal condition, or professional advice, precluding or substantially restricting physical activity; concurrent participation in another structured weight-management, physical-activity, or psychological intervention; a cognitive or psychiatric condition substantially limiting comprehension or ; or inability to complete study assessments.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Dec 2026, 3 months later.

Of 5,147 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Motor Activity, half reached primary completion within 17 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36. This study's planned 3 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 5,207 studies reached it within 17 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 36.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 14, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
