About this study

Official title: Yoga Improves Aerobic Fitness, Glycemia and Mood State and Reduces Abdominal Obesity in Overweight Women: The PRISE Study

Stretching and flexibility exercise such as yoga and functional resistance exercise are two forms of exercise that are growing in popularity. However, they have not been scientifically tested to demonstrate their ability to improve body composition, fitness, heart and metabolic health, and mood state in overweight/obese women. The investigators hypothesize that during an 11 week intervention, both forms of exercise will improve body composition, heart and metabolic health and mood state.

Read the detailed description

This study was a 11 week protein-rich whole food diet and exercise training intervention in middle aged overweight/obese women. Subjects were randomized into 3 groups: Protein-rich whole food only consumed as 20-25 grams per serving 4-6 per day (P); protein and resistance exercise training (R); and protein and stretching/yoga exercise training (S). All outcomes, including the primary outcomes of body composition and cardiometabolic biomarkers were measured at baseline (week 0) and post-intervention (week 12) in all study subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total and Regional Body Composition

    Total and regional body composition was assessed by dual energy xray absorptiometry (DXA) at baseline and 11 weeks in all subjects

    Measured: baseline and 11 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Aerobic Fitness

    VO2 max was assessed in each subject at baseline and 11 weeks

    Measured: baseline and 11 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Protein whole foods, Protein Resistance Exercise Training and Protein Stretching/Yoga Training in people with Obesity and Insulin Resistance, 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 15 Jul 2014. 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?

Total and Regional Body Composition (time frame: baseline and 11 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 NCT02190136, 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 15 Jul 2014.
