About this study

Official title: Perception of Physical Exertion in Healthy Weight and Obese Adolescents: A Pilot Study

Little is known regarding the relationship between perceived and physiological exertion in adolescents. The purpose of this study is to investigate the association between physiological and perceptual markers of effort during exercise and the relationship of these markers to other health-related behaviors in healthy weight and obese adolescents.

What participants receive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Physiological responses to submaximal and maximal treadmill exercise

    Physiological responses to submaximal and maximal treadmill exercise will be assessed during the exercise test and immediately upon completion of the exercise test. The submaximal treadmill exercise will take place at visit 1 and the maximal treadmill exercise test will take place at the 2nd and final visit which will occur 7-10 days from the 1st visit. There is no intervention between visits.

    Measured: 7-10 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Perceptual responses to submaximal and maximal treadmill exercise

    Perceptual responses to submaximal and maximal treadmill exercise will be assessed during the exercise test and immediately upon completion of the exercise test. The submaximal treadmill exercise will take place at visit 1 and the maximal treadmill exercise test will take place at the 2nd and final visit which will occur 7-10 days from the 1st visit. There is no intervention between visits.

    Measured: 7-10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Physiological Response to Exercise and Perception of Exercise Difficulty, run by University of Vermont at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Physiological responses to submaximal and maximal treadmill exercise (time frame: 7-10 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2015.
