Background

The Exercise & Sport Nutrition Laboratory (ESNL) at Baylor University began research investigating the safety and efficacy of the Curves 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. In the summer of 2008, Dr. Kreider and the ESNL moved to Texas A&M where the Curves research is planned to continue for many years. 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.
