About this study

In this study the Investigators are examining the effects of a 12-week exercise program (intervention) on measures of appetite and food intake regulation in overweight to mildly obese healthy adults. The Investigators hypothesize that individuals who lose a significant amount of weight in response to the intervention will show a reduction in the brain response to food cues as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) when compared to those who do not lose weight. These changes in neuronal activity will be associated to physiologic and behavioral measures.

What participants receive

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

  • ExerciseBehavioural

    The intervention gradually increases EE from 150-200 kcal/day 5 days per week to a target of 400 kcal/d 5 days per week and will last a total of 12 weeks.

  • DietBehavioural

    A supervised diet program which has been successfully implemented by our group with a goal being to reduce energy intake by ~2000 kcal/week.

What is being measured

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

  1. fMRI Response to Visual Food Cues

    The neuronal response will be assessed by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in response to visual food cues

    Blood oxygen dependent signal (BOLD) response in exposure to visual food cues will be measured during a fMRI scan and the difference between responses in those who lose weight vs. those who do not lose weight will be compared.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise and Diet in people with Obesity, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 5 inclusion and 10 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 22 Oct 2020. 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?

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?

fMRI Response to Visual Food Cues (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 22 Oct 2020.
