About this study

Official title: Soccer and Health: Impact of Nutritional Intervention and Recreational Soccer Training in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The present study aims to evaluate the impact of a soccer training program lasting 12 weeks in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 60 sedentary adults and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age: 50-75 y), with a BMI > 25kg/m2 and > 29kg/m2, respectively, from the Hospital of the Medical Faculty of São Paulo University will participate in this study. They will be randomly divided in 3 groups (soccer, running and control). All patients will undergo the following assessments: anthropometric, dietary, physical performance, inflammatory, metabolic and hormonal parameters such as gene expression, bone markers and predictors of cardiovascular disease. In addition the investigators aim to evaluate the body composition of these patients by DXA, and muscle and visceral lipids content by proton spectroscopic MRI.

Read the detailed description

The present study aims to evaluate the regular soccer practice on cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, bone health and metabolic and hormonal variables, and compare it with other types of classic aerobic training, such as running, for example .

Soccer is a high popularity team sport, with more than 400 million active practitioners in the world, and due to various motivational and social factors of this activity we can consider it as a great tool potential in promoting the health of sedentary individuals, but football fans. Thus, we believe that the combined use of exercises that make up the soccer training, such as running, walking, sprints, acceleration, deceleration, jumps, side court, dribbling, etc., can result in significant adaptive changes in the physiological system, contributing improvements in cardiovascular function, bone mineralization in muscle strength, physical performance and metabolism of lipids and glucose.

Therefore we aimed to investigate in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 the impact of a soccer training program with 12 weeks:

  • body composition, by examining DXA, assessing the content of lean mass and fat mass;
  • the concentration of muscle and visceral fat by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy;
  • the bone markers for the quantification of osteocalcin hormone, carboxy terminal telopeptides (CTX), propeptide amino-terminal of procollagen type I (P1NP), parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 25-hydroxy vitamin D, growth factor insulin-like-1 free ( IGF1-free);

As a secondary objective, we intend to evaluate the impact of soccer training and classic aerobic exercise on metabolic and hormonal variables of type 2 diabetic patients:

  • the parameters of cardiovascular disease, for investigating blood pressure and quantification of lipid fractions (total cholesterol and fractions, triglycerides) and C-reactive protein;
  • physical performance, evaluating the physical capacity by examining ergospirometry;
  • and the metabolic variables, enzymatic and hormonal following: blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), tolerance test oral glucose (OGTT), blood lactate, free fatty acids, blood count, insulin, proinsulin, leptin, adiponectin, and enzymes AST, ALT, CK and DHL.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diet, Soccer and Running in people with Type 2 Diabetes, run by University of Sao Paulo General Hospital at 1 site in Brazil.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 24 Sep 2015. 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 Brazil. 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?

Attenuation of expression of proinflammatory genes verified by qPCR-array technique ranging from at least 5% in pre and post-intervention measurements (time frame: 12 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 24 Sep 2015.
