About this study

Official title: Effects of Aerobic Exercise Detraining on Energy Balance in Overweight Persons

The proposed study seeks to better understand the role of body weight, energy expenditure, and energy intake as mechanisms of body weight gain during detraining following aerobic exercise. It is hypothesized that participants in the higher dose exercise group will have greater body weight gain compared to the lower exercise dose and control group from wk 24 to wk 76 follow-up.

Read the detailed description

Eligibility criteria include having successfully completed the main E-Mechanic study, be willing to archive blood samples and not being currently enrolled in another study that may effect body, energy intake or energy expenditure. The investigators will measure body weight, waist/hip circumference, blood pressure, body composition, physical activity, questionnaire about appetite/food intake and physical fitness.

Healthy Livingnon exercise healthy living control group
General HealthExercise Group (8 KKW) One exercise group will obtain 8KKW (kcal/kg/week) over 3-4 sessions per week, which will result in each session lasting approximately 30 minutes. We will recruit 1 year post study intervention.
Weight LossExercise Group (20 KKW) Exercise group will obtain 20 KKW, perform in 4-5 sessions per week for approximately 50-70 minutes per session. We will recruit 1 year post study intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body Weight

    Fasting body weight

    Measured: Week 64 - 88 post study randomization

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Energy Expenditure

    Energy expenditure is calculated with the Sensewear Armband.

    Measured: Week 64 - 90 since study randomization

  2. Energy Intake

    Energy expenditure is calculated with the Sensewear Armband and furthermore, energy intake is calculated by adjusting TDEE for change in body weight following the methods used in doubly labeled water adjustment.

    Measured: Week 64 - 90 post study randomization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Motor Activity and Body Weight, run by Pennington Biomedical Research Center 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 3 inclusion and 0 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 22 Mar 2016. 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?

Body Weight (time frame: Week 64 - 88 post study randomization). 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 22 Mar 2016.
