Health and Implementation Outcomes of Hockey Fans in Training (Hockey FIT) for Women: A Single-Arm Intervention Study.
Article in Translational behavioral medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHockey FIT is a gender-sensitized, evidence-based lifestyle intervention that engages men with overweight or obesity through their connection to local sports teams. Building on its demonstrated effectiveness, we adapted the program for women to address gender-specific barriers to health behavior change. PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to adapt and test Hockey FIT in women fans.
methodsWe conducted a single-arm intervention study with implementation evaluation to assess both health outcomes and implementation factors of the Hockey FIT program for women. The gender-sensitized program was adapted to reflect women's preferences and included 12 weekly, 90-minute group sessions led by trained coaches, incorporating goal setting, experiential learning, and peer support. Data were collected online and in person at baseline and 12 weeks. Outcome measures included self-reported steps/day, physical activity, sitting time, healthful eating, well-being, social support, and objectively measured weight and fitness. We explored the following implementation factors: reach, dose/attendance, fidelity/adaptation, participant responsiveness, acceptability, and barriers.
resultsSixty women [mean (SD) 41 (11) years] enrolled in the study. Reasons for joining included a desire to connect with others sharing similar interests. There were significant mean changes from baseline to 12 weeks for steps (1318 steps, 95% CI: 51 to 2585), total physical activity, healthful eating, and well-being indicators. Participants voiced their desire for casual conversation and friendly competition to spur each other on.
conclusionsThis study highlights the ability to deliver an effective intervention in a new population with promising outcomes.
