Trial summary

Autonomic disfunction present in metabolic syndrome subjects is related by a greater vulnerability of the heart and risk of cardiovascular events. In this context, aerobic interval training has been highlighted by its easy applicability and benefits effects in autonomic modulation in different populations. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Periodized Aerobic Interval Training on Autonomic Modulation and Cardiovascular and Anthropometric Variables in Individuals With Metabolic Syndrome

Autonomic disfunction present in metabolic syndrome subjects is related by a greater vulnerability of the heart and risk of cardiovascular events. In this context, aerobic interval training has been highlighted by its easy applicability and benefits effects in autonomic modulation in different populations. Therefore the studies that use de aerobic interval training in this different populations didn't realize a periodization of training with preparatory periods with progressive increase of load, specific phases with less duration predominating the intensity and transition periods for recuperation. Additionally, there isn't studies that investigate the effects of aerobic interval training in autonomic modulation of individuals with metabolic syndrome. In this context, periodized aerobic interval training can arise like a new type of treatment that offering security and efficacy in subjects with metabolic syndrome. So, the aim of the study is evaluate the effect of periodized aerobic interval training in cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiovascular and anthropometric parameters of individuals with metabolic syndrome.

What participants receive

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

  • Periodized aerobic interval trainingBehavioural

    The periodized training program consist in 3 phases: light (I) (training range varying between 20 to 39% of heart rate reserve and active recuperation of 19% of heart rate reserve); moderate (II) (training range varying between 40 to 59% of heart rate reserve and active recuperation of 30% of heart rate reserve) and high (III) (training range varying between 70 to 90 % of heart rate reserve and active recuperation of 50% of heart rate reserve).

Study groups in NCT03119493
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Periodized aerobic interval trainingExperimentalThe experimental groups will participate in a 16 week, three times a week based-program of periodized aerobic interval training that consist in warming [5 minutes of general stretching and 5 minutes of walking on treadmill with heart rate less than 20 percent of heart rate reserve (HHR)], followed by periodized aerobic interval training on treadmill, and cooling down [5 minutes of walk in treadmill with a heart rate less than 20 percent of HRR and 5 minutes of rest]
Receives: Behavioral: Periodized aerobic interval training
Control groupNo interventionParticipants in the control group will be instructed not to take part in any regular exercise programs during the study period.

What is being measured

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Periodized aerobic interval training in people with Metabolic Syndrome and Metabolic Syndrome X, run by Universidade Estadual Paulista Júlio de Mesquita Filho 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?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 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 18 Apr 2017. 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?

Heart rate variability (time frame: 16 week after allocation). 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 NCT03119493, 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 18 Apr 2017.
