Effect of a Unique Web-based Behaviour Change Program on Weight Loss and Cardiovascular Risk Factors
Effect of a Unique Web-based Behaviour Change Program for Physical Activity and Weight Management on Weight Loss and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Overweight or Obese Adults at High Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

Web- or internet-based programs have the potential to induce and, possibly, help to sustain, significant lifestyle modification. This study will evaluate the effect of a unique interactive web-based behaviour change program on weight loss and cardiovascular risk factors in people who are overweight or obese and at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
