About this study

Official title: The Effect of 16 Weeks of Hip Adduction and Abduction Resistance Exercise Training on Strength and Density of the Proximal Femur

Performing adduction and abduction resistance exercise will increase hip bone density and strength to a greater extent than doing squat and deadlift exercise.

Aim #1: To determine if doing hip adduction and abduction resistance exercise training for 16 weeks improves spine bone mineral density and hip bone mineral density and strength as determined by finite element modeling.

Read more

Aim #2: To compare the effects of hip adduction and abduction exercise to squat and deadlift exercise with respect to potential changes in hip bone mineral density and strength.

Aim #3: To determine if the addition of adduction and abduction exercise to squat and deadlift exercise promotes an "additive" effect with respect to changes in spine bone mineral density and hip bone mineral density and bone strength.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will carry out a 16-week exercise training study (n=24) consisting of 3 groups (n=8 per group) of healthy, non-resistance trained adult men and women (age 25-55 years). Our aim is to determine if hip adduction and abduction resistance exercise is more effective than squat and deadlift exercise with respect to changes in the whole bone strength and density of the proximal femur and spine.

Group A will do only hip adduction and abduction exercises. Group B will do only squat and deadlift exercise Group C will do a combination of hip adduction and abduction and squat and deadlift exercise

Subjects will be imaged with quantitative computed tomography (QCT) of the proximal femur and spine, pre-training and post-training, to determine changes in spinal bone density and proximal femoral bone density and strength.

Serum assays of bone formation (osteocalcin) and bone resorption (serum CTX type I) will be performed four times during the study at 4 week intervals.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduce risk of hip fracture

    The investigators have prioritized the last year of NSBRI funding to test one the capabilities of our device, standing hip adduction/abduction exercise, to strengthen the proximal femoral bone. We believe that if we are able to detect increases in bone density and strength (assessed using quantitative computed tomography of the hip pre- and post-training) in healthy volunteers, this will be solid preliminary evidence to support modification of exercise protocols currently being used to reduce the rate of bone loss on the International Space Station.

    Measured: 16 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing exercise in people with Osteoporosis and Osteopenia, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 2 inclusion and 8 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 27 Oct 2017. 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?

Reduce risk of hip fracture (time frame: 16 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 27 Oct 2017.
