What participants receive

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

  • Resistance ExerciseOther

    The subjects will complete 2 resistive exercise sessions on non-consecutive days that will be supervised by our laboratory staff. The following exercises will be performed using the Keiser Sports Health equipment in Ismail Health, Exercise, and Nutrition Center: seated row, double leg press, seated leg curl, chest press, and leg extension. The subjects will individually perform 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions at an exercise intensity of 70% of pre-determined maximal strength for these exercises. Each repetition will be performed in a slow (six to eight seconds) uniform fashion, giving equal time to the concentric (muscle shortening) and eccentric (muscle lengthening) portions. One minute of rest will be allowed between sets. The last repetition of the third set of each exercise will be done to voluntary fatigue or the performance of 12 repetitions.

  • Aerobic ExerciseOther

    The subjects will complete 2 aerobic exercise sessions on non-consecutive days that will also be supervised by our laboratory staff. The subjects will perform 45 minutes of aerobic exercise on a stationary bike at an exercise intensity of 70% of their heart-rate reserve.

  • Control (Non-exercise)Other

    The subjects will also complete 2 non-exercise sessions on non-consecutive days that will also be supervised by our laboratory staff. These sessions will consist of incorporating diversionary tasks throughout a 45 minute period consisting of a variety of motor and psychological tasks (tests of hand steadiness, alertness, optical illusions, mental acuity, etc.)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resistance Exercise and Aerobic Exercise in people with Exercise, run by Purdue University 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 16 inclusion and 16 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 17 Jan 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 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?

Physical well being via electrocardiogram and body composition (time frame: 5-6 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00761163, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Jan 2013.
