A study testing Capoeira training in people with Physical Conditioning, Human and Lipid Metabolism, run by Universidade Federal do vale do São Francisco at 1 site in Brazil.
Trial summary
Background: Among the risk factors associated with aging, a special highlight has been attributed to cardiovascular dysfunctions, insulin resistance, central obesity and dyslipidemia, which is marked by low levels of cholesterol (high density lipoprotein) and in particular by high levels of plasma triglycerides.

About this study
Official title: Twelve Weeks of Capoeira Training Decrease Plasma Triglycerides in Advanced-age Frail Adults of a Long-term Institution
Background: Among the risk factors associated with aging, a special highlight has been attributed to cardiovascular dysfunctions, insulin resistance, central obesity and dyslipidemia, which is marked by low levels of cholesterol (high density lipoprotein) and in particular by high levels of plasma triglycerides. Individuals with high levels of plasma triglycerides tend to have a prolonged postprandial hypertriglyceridemia after a fat-meal challenge, which would potentially further increase the risk associated with cardiovascular disease. Due to the impact of aging and its associated risk factors on the older adults health, several strategies have been proposed to avoid the progression of chronic diseases. These diseases are frequent in this population, especially the ones that resides in long-term institutions and they are mainly characterized by sedentary lifestyle and functional inability. Systematic reviews have shown that the implementation of physical activity programs associated with a favorable dietary pattern may benefit the lipid profile of the older adults. Moreover, it is suggested as a primary strategy, the realization of physical exercise as a therapy for this disease. In the physical exercise programs aspects, unconventional modalities such as Capoeira, which is practiced in more than 150 countries, it has aroused interest in the scientific research. Characterized by a system composed by attack and defense movements and from Afro-Brazilian origin, Capoeira combines sports elements of the fight, gymnastics, dance and musicality. However, there is no study investigating the effect of Capoeira training on the lipid profile of older adults, which would have an important clinical application in the health of this population, especially living in conditions of sedentarism and frailty in long-term institutions.
Aim: The present study analyzed the effects of twelve weeks of Capoeira training on the lipid profile of advanced-age frail adults of a long-term institution, which are characterized by sedentary lifestyle and affected by several diseases.
Methods: Participants were assigned into two groups (CONTROL: n = 07; 82.4±13.6 years and CAPOEIRA: n = 07; 79.4±6.9 years). The CAPOEIRA group performed twelve weeks of Capoeira training program, being twice a week lasting 60 minutes each at light to moderate intensity. Samples of 10 ml of blood were collected from participants' antecubital vein at the pre- and post-intervention moments in both groups. Plasma concentrations of triglycerides, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol were evaluated using the enzymatic colorimetric method. Anthropometry measures were performed and to internal control the energy consumption evaluations were carried out through daily food diaries during intervention period.

Capoeira trainingOther
Also called Physical training: attack / defense movements
The Capoeira training protocol, based in the modern styles was applied by an instructor with 16 years of experience. The protocol followed the directions of the ABADÁ Capoeira system, being adapted to the sample of older adults of the present study. The experimental protocol for Capoeira progressive training program lasted 12 weeks and was performed twice a week with duration of 60 minutes each. Each session was divided in three parts, being: 1) initial part: consisting of 10 minutes warm-up with recreational activities at low intensity; 2) main part: consisting of 30 minutes of basic movements in the modality and; 3) final part: consisting of 20 minutes with theoretical instructions related to Capoeira and musicality (singing and touch of typical instruments). In order to perform the Capoeira progressive training program, the technical improvement naturally occurred every week, resulting in a higher speed in movements execution and thus to a gradual increase in training intensity.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from baseline triglycerides concentration at 3 months
Samples of 10 ml of blood (to analyse triglycerides concentration in mg.dL-1) were collected from participants' antecubital vein from a 12-hour fast at the pre- and post-intervention moments of the CONTROL and CAPOEIRA groups.
Measured: Pre- (week zero) and Post- (through study completion, 12 weeks) in Capoeira training group and Control group

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Change from baseline triglycerides concentration at 3 months (time frame: Pre- (week zero) and Post- (through study completion, 12 weeks) in Capoeira training group and Control group). 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 NCT03868878, which also lists 3 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 12 Mar 2019.
