About this study

Official title: The Effects of a 12-week Jump Rope Exercise Program on Body Composition, Insulin Sensitivity, and Academic Self-efficacy in Obese Prehypertensive Adolescent Girls

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a 12-week jump rope exercise program on body composition, blood pressure, insulin resistance, and academic self-efficacy in prehypertensive adolescent obese girls. Forty-eight prehypertensive adolescent obese girls participated in this study. The girls were randomly divided into the jump rope exercise intervention group (EX, n=24) and control group (CON, n=24). The EX group performed a jump rope training program at 40-70% of their heart rate reserve (HRR) 5 days/week for 12 weeks (sessions 50 minutes in duration). The CON group did not participate in any structure or unstructured exercise protocol. Blood pressure, body fat percentage, waist circumference, blood glucose and insulin, homeostatic model assessment - insulin resistance, and Academic Self-Efficacy were measured before and after the 12-weeks study.

What participants receive

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

  • 12-week jump rope exercise programOther

    Each jump rope exercise session of the program was performed for 50 minute, with a 5 minute warm-up and cool-down. Sessions were performed once a day, 5 days a week, for 12 weeks. The program consisted of various main jump rope exercises (1 line 2 jump, jumping feet together, running jumping, open side jump, open back and forth jump, rock paper scissor jump). The warm-up and cool-down consisted of static stretching, walking, and jogging. Intensity of exercise was gradually increased form 40-50% heart rate reserve (HRR) in weeks 1-4 and 60-70% HRR in weeks 9-12. Each training session was supervised by the researchers. Ever subject wore a heart rate monitor during the whole training session in order to maintain the designated training intensity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Body Fat

    Body fat percentage was measured to the nearest 0.1%.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Blood Pressure

    Blood pressure was measured in duplicate using an automated sphygmomanometer. The average of the was recorded as the resting blood pressure. Both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were recorded.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. Body Mass

    Body mass was measured to nearest 0.1kg.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  4. Height

    Height was measured to the nearest 1 cm.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  5. Waist Circumference

    Waist circumference as measured at midpoint between the lower rib and the iliac crest at the end of a normal expiration using a tap measure.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  6. Lean Body Mass

    Lean body mass (kg) was determined using a bioelectrical impedance-meter.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  7. Glucose

    Blood glucose concentrations were assessed with a glucose reagent kit.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  8. Insulin

    Serum insulin was evaluated using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  9. Homeostatic Model Assessment - Insulin Resistance

    Homeostatic model assessment - insulin resistance was calculated from the fasting plasma blood glucose and insulin levels according to previously established models.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 12-week jump rope exercise program in people with Prehypertension and Blood Pressure, run by Pusan National University.

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 4 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 3 Nov 2020. 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?

Body Fat (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Nov 2020.
