About this study

Official title: Effects of a Physical Exercise Program Adapted to People With Obesity on Health Indicators and Quality of Life.

This project aims to develop an intervention on healthy habits based on physical exercise and nutritional education in people with obesity.

It is accepted that exercise and nutrition are keys to controlling body weight. People with obesity frequently present with metabolic syndrome and a low-grade inflammatory state.

It is not known what should be the most effective training load/dose (duration, intensity, type of exercise) to improve health indicators related to metabolic syndrome and lipo-inflammation, and body composition in people with obesity.

A large-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be essential to better understand the type and characteristics of training load/dose most effective in counteracting the detrimental effects of obesity.

The aim of this trial in 50 obese women was to answer the following questions:

  • Does the training program improve physical fitness?
  • Does the training program improve body composition?
  • Does the training program improve the state of chronic low-grade inflammation?
  • Does the training program improve the quality of life and perceived health?
  • Do people with obesity and metabolic syndrome respond in the same way to training?
  • what is the effect of four weeks of detraining?
Read the detailed description

A female single group, 2-armed ( people with obesity and metabolic syndrome vs people with obesity without metabolic syndrome), investigator-blinded, trial.

The study will last 17 weeks. Week 1 (testing 1: pretest); weeks 2-11 (Intervention: interval training program); week 12 (testing 3: postest); weeks 13-16 (detraining period); week 17 (testing 3: detraining test)

Participants will be allocated (1:1) regarding metabolic syndrome Behavioural: exercise training program Adapted Interval Training Intervention, three days a week, 10 weeks.

Warm-up ≃ 10': Joint mobility and cardiovascular activation.

Main part ≃ 45 min.:

The training load will increase while maintaining the same intensity.

Cool down ≃ 5' Flexibility and CORE

Behavioural: Feeding training Two workshops on healthy eating habits (Week 1 and week 5). Food Frequency Questionnaires (weekly).

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 27 inclusion and 4 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 16 Oct 2023. 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 Spain. 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?

Change in low-grade chronic inflammation (time frame: from baseline ( 0 weeks) to follow-up (10 weeks) and detraining effects (after 4 weeks sedentary lifestyle)). The study lists 7 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 16 Oct 2023.
