About this study

Official title: Effects of Two Aquatic Training Models in Physiological Parameters of Elderly Dyslipidemic Women: a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

This study aims to compare the effects of two water-based training models in physiological parameters of dyslipidemic elderly women. Thus, a randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted in parallel with the participation of 45 dyslipidemic elderly women.

Read the detailed description

The women will be randomly divided into three groups: water aerobics training (WA), resistance aquatic training (WR) and the third is the control group (who will perform relaxation sessions under water). The three groups will attend classes during 10 weeks, with two weekly sessions of 45 minutes each. The WA and WR groups will use the same four exercises in their training.

The WA group will be trained using the interval method, performing six blocks of five minutes each one, alternating four minutes at intensities corresponding to 90 to 100% of the heart rate corresponding to the second ventilatory threshold (HRVT2) and one minute at intensities between 80 and 90% HRVT2.

The WR group will perform four to eight sets of 20 to 10 seconds along the macrocycle, always at maximal speed execution of the exercises.

Will be measured, before and after the period of 10 weeks of intervention, biochemical, cardiorespiratory, neuromuscular and hemodynamic variables, parameters of quality of life and depressive symptoms in addition to the cardiovascular risk score of the participants of the three groups.

Data will be described by means values and lower and upper limits, with a 95% confidence interval. Comparisons between and within groups were performed using the method of generalized estimates of equations (GEE), with Bonferroni post hoc, adopting a 0.05 significance level.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Water aerobics training. and Water resistance training. in people with Dyslipidemias, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre.

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 14 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Cholesterol (TC) Change (time frame: Change from baseline total cholesterol at 10 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 14 Sep 2016.
