1). The HOOP group will perceive the exerciseas less physically exerting (RPE) than the WALKgroup but average HR (exercise intensity) willnot differ.2). The HOOP group will have greater changein activity scores from baseline to 30 daysfollow-up.

After controlling for BMI… 3). HOOP group will be related to greaterattitudes, norms, and PBC scores at post-task. 4). Post-test attitudes, norms, and PBC willpredict intentions for exercise at 30 days followup. 5). <strong>Exercise</strong> intentions will have a significantmain effect on change in activity scores.

“I've tried aerobics, circuit training, weighttraining, and water aerobics, but hooping isthe only thing I've stuck with because it'ssimply fun. When I put on my music and pickup a hoop, I'm not exercising - I'm playing. Ican go from half an hour to two hours ormore, depending on what I'm trying toaccomplish in a given session. Let's see yourtypical obese sedentary person do that withaerobics!”
