Trial summary

Interval exercise involves short bouts of high intensity exercise interspersed with periods of lower intensity exercise. The benefit is that a shorter total duration of exercise may be required to achieve cardiovascular benefits similar to or even superior to traditional longer bouts of steady state endurance… Read more about this study

About this study

Interval exercise involves short bouts of high intensity exercise interspersed with periods of lower intensity exercise. The benefit is that a shorter total duration of exercise may be required to achieve cardiovascular benefits similar to or even superior to traditional longer bouts of steady state endurance exercise. However how this type of exercise affects appetite and energy intake, particularly in overweight and obese females is not well known.

This study involves two trials of exercise, one at high intensity and one at low intensity, followed by a buffet lunch, in overweight and obese females.

What participants receive

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

  • ExerciseOther

    high intensity exercise = 15 x 60 s sprints at 85% velocity of VO2max (vVO2max) with 60 s walking at 20% vVO2max or moderate intensity exercise = walking at 60% vVO2max

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in energy expenditure

    caloric expenditure measured via indirect calorimetry

    Measured: immediately pre-breakfast, immediately pre-exercise, during exercise, and immediately post-exercise.

  2. Change in energy intake

    measured via standardized lunch

    Measured: immediately post exercise

  3. Change in appetite

    measured via circulating hormones leptin and acylated ghrelin

    Measured: immediately pre-breakfast, immediately post-breakfast, immediately post-exercise and immediately pre-lunch

  4. Change in subjective hunger

    via visual analogue scale 100 mm, higher scores indicate greater hunger

    Measured: baseline, immediately pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise, immediately pre-lunch, and immediately post-lunch

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Overweight and Obesity, run by Ohio University at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 18 Jun 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 United States. 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?

Change in energy expenditure (time frame: immediately pre-breakfast, immediately pre-exercise, during exercise, and immediately post-exercise.). 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.

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 18 Jun 2020.
