In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Exercise for Physical Activity. Completed, enrolled 28 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary

Various explanations for these differences have been established, one of which is based on low levels of physical activity in people of SA origin, particularly in Muslim women. This pilot trial will test the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of a Mosque-based exercise and educational intervention designed for SA Muslim women. 1.
