About this study

Official title: Effect of Personal and IT Based Training to Performance, Metabolic Profil and Quality of Life by Patients With Metabolic Syndrome

Prospective, randomized, single center, controlled intervention study to investigate the effect of a systematic combined personal and IT-based training on the outcome of patients with metabolic syndrome.

Read the detailed description

The study settles in the field of primary prevention and aims to change lifestyle of patients with metabolic syndrome with a new combination of personal and IT-based training specially designed für obese people with risk factors. Procedures that are similar for all participants are summarized in a training program whereas individual aspects of physical activity like initial education and exercise tests are still performed by doctors and trainers. Before and after three months of training anthropometric parameters, laboratory and exercise capacity are examined and analyzed. The intervention group is characterized by a predetermined exercise program whereas the control group is allowed to practise without detailed instructions. The practicability and the effect on health status of the combined personal and IT-based training in the intervention group is compared with the independent training of the control group. After 6 months and again after 12 months the measurements are repeated to evaluate a lasting effect of the program.

What is being measured

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

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Change in quality of life and subjective assumption of health sensation

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Change in anthropometric parameters

    Measured: 12 months

  5. Raise of maximum performance (max. ergometric performance)

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Combined 3-monthly endurance and strength training in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by Technical University of Munich at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 12 Mar 2009. 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 Germany. 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?

Evaluation of the effect of a combined personal and IT- based training on the performance at the metabolic anaerobe barrier of patients with impending or manifest metabolic syndrome compared to a control group with conventional consulting (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00686244, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 12 Mar 2009.
