About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Sprint Interval Training on Anthropometric Measures Among Obese and Overweight Young Adults: A Systematic Review

Due to the rising problem of overweight and obesity, many strategies are implemented to combat this issue and one of the most common ways is exercise training. Aerobic exercise is a popular and effective conservative strategy for weight and adiposity management and commonly used exercise protocols are moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) and interval training (IT). MICT is typically defined as continuous effort that elicits 55%-70% of the maximal heart rate or promotes oxygen consumption equivalent to 40%-60% of the maximum oxygen intake. IT involves repeated exercise with periods of recovery, which includes high intensity interval training (HIIT) and Sprint interval training (SIT). HIIT is exercising at 80% to 100% of maximal heart rate while SIT involves "all-out" or "supramaximal" effort at the intensity of 100% of maximal oxygen uptake. Multiple systematic reviews on the effect of SIT on aerobic capacity or comparisons between other forms of exercise protocols to reduce body adiposity has been conducted, but so far no systematic review has been carried out to evaluate the efficacy of this protocol solely on anthropometric measures on young obese and overweight adults alone. Hence, in this study, a systematic review of the effect of SIT on anthropometric measurements in young obese or overweight adults will be reviewed, filtered and assembled.

Read the detailed description

Keywords using "obese", "overweight", "sprint interval training", "interval training", "anthropometric measures","body mass index", "fat %" lean muscle mass will be searched through e-databases namely Pubmed (including MEDLINE), Pedro-search, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library for the suitable original full text studies. Only randomized control trails will be included in this study and the "Tool for the assEssment of Study qualiTy and reporting in EXercise" (TESTEX) would be utilized to assess each individual study. TESTEX has been validated and is specific to exercise training. The authors wish to use TESTEX as it addresses several shortcomings that PEDro does not e.g. exercise adherence, withdrawal, relative exercise training intensity. In addition, study quality assessment of training studies is more robust with TESTEX. 2 independent evaluators will examine and screen each study for its efficacy to be included in the data analysis.

What participants receive

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

  • Sprint Interval TrainingOther

    Sprint interval training of 2 weeks and more.

What is being measured

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

  1. BMI for change

    Measured: At baseline (before intervention begin) and post training.

  3. Lean Muscle Mass

    Measured: At baseline (before intervention begin) and post training.

  4. Waist Circumference for change

    Measured: At baseline (before intervention begin) and post training.

  5. Waist to hip ratio for change

    Measured: At baseline (before intervention begin) and post training.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Overweight and Obesity, run by Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 2 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 Jun 2021. 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 Malaysia. 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?

BMI for change (time frame: At baseline (before intervention begin) and post training.). The study lists 5 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 Jun 2021.
