About this study

Official title: Whey Protein With and Without Exercise Training Enhances Total and Regional Body Composition, Insulin, Leptin, and Blood Pressure in Overweight and Obese Adults - The P+RISE Study

Dietary manipulation is proving to be an effective lifestyle strategy to combat the obesity epidemic. Increased dietary protein is one effective strategy. For example, increased whey protein ingestion with and without exercise training is associated with enhanced weight loss, body composition and subjective hunger in overweight and obese individuals. Our findings suggest that the effects of whey protein ingestion occur independent of a calorie-restricted diet and to a greater extent in individuals following a combined exercise program of resistance exercise, sprint intervals, stretching/yoga/pilates, and aerobic exercise training compared to standard resistance training.

Read the detailed description

This study was a 16 week whey protein and exercise training intervention in middle aged overweight/obese adults. Subjects were randomized into 3 groups: Whey protein only consumed as 20 grams per serving three times per day (total 60 grams per day) (WP); Whey protein and resistance exercise training (WP-RT); and Whey protein and combined exercise training (P+RISE). All outcomes, including the primary outcome of visceral fat was measured at baseline (week 0) and post-intervention (week 17) in all study subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • Whey ProteinDietary supplement

    Whey protein provided in 20 gram servings administered three times per day. once in the morning upon waking; a second serving in the mid-afternoon; and a third serving within 2 hours of going to sleep at night.

  • Whey Protein and Resistance ExericseDietary supplement

    Subjects will receive 20 grams of whey protein three times per day along with 4 days per week of resistance exercise training throughout the 16 week intervention.

  • Whey Protein and RISE exercise routineOther

    Subjects will consume 20 grams of whey protein three times per day (total of 60 grams) and perform a combination of exercise involving functional resistance exercise (R); sprint intervals (I); stretching/pilates/yoga (S); and endurance exercise (E); RISE four days per week.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Whey Protein, Whey Protein and Resistance Exericse and Whey Protein and RISE exercise routine in people with Obesity and Overweight, run by Skidmore College 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 10 Oct 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?

change in visceral fat (time frame: baseline and 17 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 NCT01960335, 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 10 Oct 2013.
