About this study

Official title: Effect of Aerobic Interval Training Combined With Vitamin D Supplement on Functional Capacity and Perceived Myalgia in Middle Aged Obese Women

This study aimed to investigate whether there will be an effect of adding a program of aerobic interval training in managing patients suffering from myalgia associated with vitamin D deficiency.

Read the detailed description

Forty five women complaining from myalgia with vitamin D deficiency participating in this study. Their ages are ranged from 30 to 40 years.

They are assigned randomly into three groups:

  • Group (A): included 15 patients who are participating in an aerobic interval training exercise program with vitamin D supplementation (cholecalciferol 400 IU/day).
  • Group (B): included 15 patients who are receiving vitamin D supplementation only (cholecalciferol 400 IU/day).
  • Group (C): included 15 patients who are participating in an interval training exercise program only.

The intervention will last for 12 weeks

Being tested
aerobic interval training and Vitamin D supplementation,, Vitamin D supplementation only, aerobic interval training only
Medical subject headings
Vitamin D Deficiency

What participants receive

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

  • aerobic interval training and Vitamin D supplementation,Other

    The participants in both groups A will be instructed to perform aerobic interval exercises at 70% maxHR for 5 minutes and then decrease activity to 50% for 5 minutes and repeat for the length of the activity (the training will be done by using bicycle ergometer(Biodex LBC, Biodex Inc., New York).• Before starting training ; Maximum heart rate calculated from the following equation: maxHR= 220-age .

    • Duration: the first five to ten minutes of each session were dedicated to warming up exercise on the bicycle in the form of slow progression exercise (to decrease the risk of hypotension, musculoskeletal injury and cardiovascular complications), followed by the active phase of exercise for 40 min., and finally cooling down phase for ten minutes. with intensity and speed decreased gradually until reaching the resting HR
    • Frequency: 3 days/week., for 12 weeks

    Also all participants in this group are taking gne capsule containing (cholecalciferol 400 IU) every day .

  • Vitamin D supplementation onlyDrug

    One capsule containing (cholecalciferol 400 IU) was taken every day .

  • aerobic interval training onlyOther

    The participants in group C will be instructed to perform aerobic interval exercises at 70% maxHR for 5 minutes and then decrease activity to 50% for 5 minutes and repeat for the length of the activity (the training will be done by using bicycle ergometer(Biodex LBC, Biodex Inc., New York).• Before starting training ; Maximum heart rate calculated from the following equation: maxHR= 220-age (Gellish ,2007).

    • Duration: the first five to ten minutes of each session were dedicated to warming up exercise on the bicycle in the form of slow progression exercise (to decrease the risk of hypotension, musculoskeletal injury and cardiovascular complications), followed by the active phase of exercise for 40 min., and finally cooling down phase for ten minutes. with intensity and speed decreased gradually until reaching the resting heart rate (Broderick et al.,2014).
    • Frequency: 3 days/week. The whole training lasting for 12 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentration of Plasma Serum vitamin D level (25OHD)

    It is performed by Laboratory BioPlex® 2200 System

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups

  2. Description of Functional capacity efficiency

    Cooper 12-Minute Walk Test (12MWT)

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups

  3. Intensity of non specific muscle pain (myalgia)

    A 10-cm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the patients' pain , with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst pain imaginable

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups

  4. Description of the improvement in Quality of life

    The Short form health survey (SF-12)is often used to compare health status between groups of patients, to indentify predictors of health status

    Measured: It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing aerobic interval training and Vitamin D supplementation,, Vitamin D supplementation only and aerobic interval training only in people with Vitamin D Deficiency, run by Cairo University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Concentration of Plasma Serum vitamin D level (25OHD) (time frame: It is performed before and after the study(12 weeks interval) for all groups). The study lists 4 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.
