A Phase 2 study testing exercise training in people with Elderly, run by University of Southern Denmark at 1 site in Denmark.
Trial summary

About this study
Official title: Does Aerobic Training Followed by Resistance Training Enhance Aerobic Capacity in Seniors? A Randomized Controlled Trial.
In healthy young subjects a single bout of strength training following endurance training has been shown to improve markers for aerobic capacity in muscle compared to a single bout of endurance training alone. The present project tests the hypothesis: 12 weeks of training with sessions of endurance training followed by strength training is superior to endurance training alone for health participants 50-65 years of age. The outcome measures are maximal oxygen uptake and knee-extension strength.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| endurance training | Active comparator | 40 min bicycle or treadmill training at 60% maximal oxygen uptake Receives: Behavioral: exercise training |
| Strength following endurance training | Experimental | 20 minutes bicycle or treadmill training at 60% maximal oxygen uptake followed by 20 minutes stength training increasing from 15RM to 10RM Receives: Behavioral: exercise training |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing exercise training in people with Elderly, run by University of Southern Denmark at 1 site in Denmark.
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 2 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Aug 2013. 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 Denmark. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
maximal oxygen uptake (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Aug 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
