Women's Health & Fitness Initiative
 


Research Update

 

Background

The Exercise & Sport Nutrition Laboratory (ESNL) at Baylor University began research investigating the safety and efficacy of the Curves for Women fitness and weight loss program in the fall of 2002.  Since then, researchers within the ESNL have conducted a number of research studies examining the short and long-term impact of women participating in the Curves program.  These efforts have culminated in the award of a five year multimillion dollar grant to the ESNL in order to start the Curves Women's Health Initiative.  The following describes the mission, current and planned studies, and provides links to results of research presented at various scientific meetings. 

Mission

The Curves Women's Health & Fitness Initiative was launched in order to: 1.) examine short and long-term efficacy of the Curves fitness and weight loss programs; 2.) identify ways to optimize the Curves program through various diet, exercise, and/or nutritional interventions; and, 3.) examine ways to improve the health and well-being of women. 

Research Overview

Completed Studies

  • Effects of the Curves for Women Fitness and Weight Loss Program on Body Composition, Metabolism, and Exercise Capacity in Sedentary Overweight Females

  • Effects of the Curves for Women Fitness and Weight Loss Program on Body Composition, Metabolism, and Exercise Capacity in Sedentary Overweight Females II

  • Effects of Calcium Supplementation on Weight Loss in Post-Menopausal Women Participating in the Curves Fitness & Weight Loss Program
  • Biomechanical Analysis of the Curves Equipment
  • Energy Expenditure Analysis of the Curves Circuit
  • Effects of Varying Amounts of Caloric and Macronutrient Intake on Resting Energy Expenditure and Metabolism
