Methodology

A sample size of 34 participants 17 male and 17 female of aged between 20-40 years with class-I obesity were selected and recruited in this study. All the participants were initially screened using a physical activity and readiness questionnaire to determine if they are fit to perform exercises afterwards intervention based on dynamic exercises were given to the patient for 12 weeks based on the guidelines of American College of Sports Medicine and the quantification of exercises was done using a Frequency, Intensity, Time and Type (FITT) protocol. The training session was based on Warm up 5 to 10 minutes followed by conditioning phase of 20 minutes and a cool down phase of 5 to 10 minutes. The detailed description of each of the phase is as under:

Warm up Phase Dynamic light aerobic warm up exercises were performed by the participants for 5 to 10 minutes before the start of the conditioning. Two different exercises that were performed included i) High Knee in which the knees will be lifted as high as possible in such a manner that both feet should be at one time be above the ground ii) Jumping Jack Exercise in which a simultaneous movement of upper and lower limb will be performed in a manner that every time during a jump the arms were thrusted over the head while the foot moved out to the side and than returning back to the original position 10 repetitions of both the exercises were performed.

Dynamic Resistance Exercise Modified Wingate protocol that incorporates 20 minutes of training on a cycle ergometer; included one minute of cycling with resistance to be performed at 85% to 90% of Maximal Heart Rate (MHR) followed by one minute of cycling with no resistance. The protocol will be performed for 10 times for a duration of 20 minute of workout.

Cool Down The process of cool down last for 5-10 minutes. During this low intensity, long hold stretching were performed of lower limb and upper limb that included shoulder, calf and hamstring stretch

What is being measured

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

  1. Body Fat Percentage (Pre treatment)

    Body fat percentage is used to measure fat mass with higher percentage revealing greater body fat. The values are calculated using skin fold thickness (precision caliper) method.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Body Fat Percentage (Post treatment)

    Body fat percentage is used to measure fat mass with higher percentage revealing greater body fat. The values are calculated using skin fold thickness (precision caliper) method.

    Measured: After 12 weeks of training

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dynamic Resistance Exercises in people with Obesity, run by Ziauddin University at 1 site in Pakistan.

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 3 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 11 May 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 Pakistan. 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?

Body Fat Percentage (Pre treatment) (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 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 11 May 2020.
