About this study

Official title: Effect of Physical Exercise Intensity on Spontaneous Physical Activity Energy Expenditure and Energy Intake in Overweight Adults: a Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study is a randomized controlled trial, designed to evaluate the effect of structured physical exercise sessions on the spontaneous physical activity energy expenditure and caloric intake in overweight adults. The design employs a parallel three-group experimental arms: (1) a moderate exercise group (MEG); (2) a vigorous exercise group (VEG); and a control group (CG) without physical exercise sessions.

What participants receive

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

  • Moderate exerciseBehavioural

    The training phase of the moderate exercise group (MEG) will consist of 4 sets of 10 minutes walking/running at moderate intensity, with 5 minutes walking at low intensity for recovery between sets

  • Vigorous exerciseBehavioural

    The training phase of the vigorous exercise group (VEG) will consist of 4 sets of 10 minutes running at vigorous intensity, with 5 minutes walking at low intensity for recovery between sets

What is being measured

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

  1. spontaneous physical activity energy expenditure

    Physical activity energy expenditure will be assessed by a triaxial accelerometers (ActiGraph GT3x-BT, Pensacola, FL, USA). The device will be positioned at the anterior axillary line of the non-dominant hip, for 15 consecutive days

    Measured: 15 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. appetite sensations

    Subjective hunger and satiety sensations will be measured through the visual analog scale (VAS) proposed by Flint et al. (2000).

    Measured: 15 days

  2. energy intake

    Food and beverages consumption will be assessed by 24-h food recalls (REC24h). Nutritionists will conduct a face-to-face interview in four different moments during the intervention period: at the 2nd and 5th days (Tuesday and Friday) in the first week; and at the 11th and 15th days (Thursday and Monday) in the second week, including weekdays and weekend.

    Measured: 15 days

  3. laboratorial biomarkers

    To investigate the physiological mechanisms involved in energy expenditure and food consumption regulation, blood and salivary samples will be collected to biochemical and hormonal analyses at the 1st (baseline) and the 15th days of the intervention period, in the morning, after at least 10 hours of fasting.

    Measured: 15 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Moderate exercise and Vigorous exercise in people with Physical Activity, run by Rio de Janeiro State University 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 3 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 17 Sep 2019. 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?

spontaneous physical activity energy expenditure (time frame: 15 days). 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 NCT03138187, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 17 Sep 2019.
