Trial summary

Many obese individuals experience difficulties in executing household activities. In this study, we investigate the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of obese vs. non-obese women, and the impact of obesity on cardiorespiratory functioning during daily household activities. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Does Obesity Influence Women Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Daily Physical Activities?

Many obese individuals experience difficulties in executing household activities. In this study, we investigate the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) of obese vs. non-obese women, and the impact of obesity on cardiorespiratory functioning during daily household activities.

Read the detailed description

Methods: On 48 sedentary female subjects will be assessed by cardiorespiratory exercise testing with evaluation of peak oxygen uptake (⩒O2), heart rate (HR) and maximal cycling power output. Next, cardiorespiratory functioning will be assessed during household activities such as ironing (A1), cleaning floor (A2), walking and climbing stairs (A3).

What participants receive

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

  • cardiorespiratory fitness and daily physical activities evaluationsDiagnostic test

    The cardiopulmonary exercise testing is performed on a cycle ergometer connected to cardiovascular and respiratory software. Subjects have a facemask, which collected respiratory and metabolic variables.An incremental exercise test is performed up to exhaustion. ⩒O2 is recorded and heart rate is averaged by an electrocardiogram system.

    Cardiopulmonary exercise testing during household activities Subjects have to perform 3 everyday life household activities: ironing,cleaning floor,walking and climbing stairs.A wearable ambulatory indirect metabolic system is used with Holter mode to record cardiorespiratory measures.Subjects have to breathe through the K4b2 facemask and turbine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of relative peak oxygen consumption between obese and non-obese women , mesured with indirect calorimetry

    ⩒O2 peak comparison between OB vs NO women. For each household activity, the intensity expressed by the ratio ⩒O2 activity/resting ⩒O2 or the ratio ⩒O2 activity /⩒O2 peak will be compared between NO and OB

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing cardiorespiratory fitness and daily physical activities evaluations in people with Obesity, run by Laboratory of Movement, Condorcet, Tournai, Belgium at 1 site in Belgium.

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 5 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 1 Aug 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 Belgium. 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?

Comparison of relative peak oxygen consumption between obese and non-obese women , mesured with indirect calorimetry (time frame: 2 months). 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 1 Aug 2017.
