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.
