About this study

Official title: Comparison of Acute Cycling Modalities on Enjoyment, Post Exercise Substrate Oxidation, Appetite and Energy Intakes Over 24h in Postmenopausal Women With Overweight or Obesity

High-intensity interval exercise (HIIT), as compared to moderate intensity continuous training (MICT), is a time-efficient strategy to decrease total and abdominal fat mass (FM). However, the mechanisms underlying such adaptations are not yet elucidated and research are still needed to establish the optimal HIIT according to subject characteristics. The aim of this study was to compare acute HIIE and MICE cycling exercises on enjoyment, post-exercise substrate oxidation, appetite and energy intakes over 24h in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity. It is hypothesized that compared with the traditional MICE, HIIE could favor greater enjoyment, higher 2h-post-exercise fat oxidation and a similar energy intakes over 24h despite different post-exercise appetite perceptions.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study was to compare acute HIIE and MICE cycling exercises on enjoyment, post-exercise substrate oxidation, and appetite and energy intakes over 24h in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity.

Using a randomized crossover design, 12 postmenopausal women completed 3 cycling exercises at 6-days intervals:

  1. Moderate Intensity Continuous Exercise (MICE) which consisted of 35 min cycling at 60-65% theorical Peak Heart Rate (thPHR) ii) High Intensity Interval Exercise 1 (HIIE 1) 60 cycles of speeding up for 8 s at 80-90%thPHR followed by pedaling slowly for 12 s (20min) iii) High Intensity Interval Exercise 2 (HIIE 2) which consisted of repeated 10 x 1min at 80-90% thPHR followed by pedaling slowly for 1min.

Substrate oxidation (CHO and FAT) were measured at rest and 2h- post exercise. Enjoyment, perceived exertion and appetite were recorded and post-exercise energy intakes were assessed over 24h.

What participants receive

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

  • Moderate Intensity Continuous ExerciseOther

    Participant completed a moderate intensity continuous cycling exercise (MICE) during 35 min at 60-65% thPHRmax

  • High-Intensity Interval Exercise (1)Other

    Participant completed a high-intensity interval cycling exercise (HIIE 1) during 20min with 60 cycles of speeding up for 8s and pedaling slowly for 12s at 80-90% thPHRmax

  • High-Intensity Interval Exercise (2)Other

    Participant completed a high-intensity interval cycling exercise (HIIE 2) during 20min with 10 x 1-min bouts at 80-90% thPHRmax, separated by 1-min recovery bouts

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-exercise (2 hours) CHO and FAT oxidation

    CHO and FAT oxidation were measured after each modality with indirect calorimetry during 2 hours post-exercise

    Measured: 2 hours post-exercise

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Enjoyment

    Perceive enjoyment evaluated with Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PAES) for each modalities. The total scores of PAES are between 18 and 126 with the higher scores indicating greater enjoyment.

    Measured: Immediately post-exercise

  2. Rate Perceive Exertion (RPE)

    RPE evaluated with adapted Borg's Scale during exercise for each modalities

    Measured: During exercise (5-10-15 and 20 minutes for HIIE1 and 2 ; 9-18-27 and 35 minutes for MICE) which corresponds at 25-50-75 and 100% of bout completion.

  3. Appetite

    The validated 100 millimeters Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to assess the subjective appetite at 4 time points: before, immediately post-exercise, 60 minutes and 120 minutes post-exercise. This scale comprised four questions anchored with words representing the opposing extreme states of desire to eat, hunger, fullness and prospective food consumption. The score of each question are between 0 and 100.

    Measured: Before, immediately post-exercise, 60 minutes and 120 minutes post-exercise

  4. Energy intakes

    Estimated energy intakes using dietary questionnaires

    Measured: 24 hours post-exercise

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Moderate Intensity Continuous Exercise, High-Intensity Interval Exercise (1) and High-Intensity Interval Exercise (2) in people with Overweight and Postmenopausal, run by Laboratoire des Adaptations Métaboliques à l'Exercice en conditions Physiologiques et Pathologiques at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 28 Apr 2020. 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 France. 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?

Post-exercise (2 hours) CHO and FAT oxidation (time frame: 2 hours post-exercise). 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 28 Apr 2020.
