  • An Evaluation of Army Wellness Center Clients’ Health-Related Outcomes.

13 March 2018

An Evaluation of Army Wellness Center Clients’ Health-Related Outcomes.

Posted in Scientific, Science and Performance

indirect calorimetry

This new paper analyzes in detail the effectiveness of the Army Wellness Center (AWC) model as a health promotion program for US military.

The Army Wellness Center (AWC) model was designed to deliver individual- and group-based health education services that promote and sustain healthy lifestyles and improve overall well-being among Army community members. The AWC health educators (HEs) deliver the model by conducting health assessments, providing feedback and education, and coaching their clients through 6 core pro- grams.

Physical fitness assessment program includes Cardiorespiratory Fitness test (performed with COSMED Fitmate PRO) and body fat percentage (performed with COSMED BOD POD).p>

The study findings show that "Army Wellness Center (AWC) clients with at least 1 follow-up outcome assessment experienced improvements in military readiness correlates and chronic disease risk factors. Evaluation design and follow-up-related limitations notwithstanding results suggest that best practices in WHPPs can effectively serve a globally distributed military force".
