Trial summary

It has been reported that obese individuals are seated 2 ½ hour more than lean individuals and that non exercise thermo genesis (NEAT) may vary with as much as 2000 Kcal/day between equal size people due to different occupational and leisure time activities. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Aerobic Interval Training on NEAT in Sedentary Men

It has been reported that obese individuals are seated 2 ½ hour more than lean individuals and that non exercise thermo genesis (NEAT) may vary with as much as 2000 Kcal/day between equal size people due to different occupational and leisure time activities. The primary aim of the study is to investigate if 10 weeks of exercise training increase NEAT in sedentary men.

Subject will be randomized to three different training intervention, with 3 exercise session each week for 10 weeks. NEAT will be measured using an activity sensor and recorded over a 7 day period both before and after training.

Being tested
1 x 4 minute interval, 4 x 4 minutes Intervals, Moderate continuous Training
Keywords
NEAT, maximal oxygen uptake, stroke volume

What participants receive

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

  • 1 x 4 minute intervalBehavioural

    1 x 4 minutes of high intensity intervals at 90-95% of maximal heart rate

  • 4 x 4 minutes IntervalsBehavioural

    4 x 4 minutes of high intensity intervals at 90-95% of maximal heart rate separated by 3 minutes of active brakes in between at 70% of maximal heart rate.

  • Moderate continuous TrainingBehavioural

    47 minutes of Moderate continuous Training

What is being measured

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

  1. nonexercise activity thermogenesis

    NEAT Will be measured using an activity sensor. Physical activity is recorded over a 7 day period. The energy equivalent of each of these activities is determined. The time spent in each activity is then multiplied by equivalent for the activity. The values are then summed to derive an estimate of NEAT.

    Measured: Baseline and 10 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cardiopulmonary maximal oxygen uptake

    The secondary aims are to investigate the changes in maximal oxygen uptake, heart function, and body composition in response to interval training

    Measured: Baseline and 10 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 1 x 4 minute interval, 4 x 4 minutes Intervals and Moderate continuous Training in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Norwegian University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Norway.

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 3 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 30 Mar 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 Norway. 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?

nonexercise activity thermogenesis (time frame: Baseline and 10 weeks). 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 NCT01313468, 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 30 Mar 2017.
