About this study

Official title: Association Analysis of Aerobic Capacity and Expiratory Forced Vital Capacity in Overweight and Obese Adults After Submaximal Exercise Training of Three Weeks (a Randomized Controlled Trial Study)

It is a randomized controlled trial. The study is initiated after getting an approval from ERC FUI. The research is being conducted according to ethical guidelines of Pakistan Medical Research Council and declaration of Helsinki. Confidentiality and anonymity of participants is being maintained throughout the research project. Study subjects are being selected on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria and then are being randomly allocated on the basis of coin toss method in Control and experimental groups. An informed consent is being taken from study participants prior to recruiting in study. After random allocation the participants are being given self-administered PAR-Q followed by pre exercise Expiratory forced vital capacity and VO2 max measurements through Digital spirometer and McArdle Katch test respectively. Then study participants will be made to perform submaximal exercise testing according to ACSM guidelines for 03 weeks. The data will be collected at two time intervals that is on day 1 and then after 03 weeks. Data will then be analyzed using SPSS version 21.0.

Read the detailed description

Objectives of study:

  1. To find out association between aerobic capacity and expiratory forced vital capacity in overweight obese adults after submaximal exercise training of 03 weeks.
  2. To find out effectiveness of submaximal exercise training of 03 weeks on aerobic capacity and expiratory forced vital capacity in overweight obese adults.

STUDY HYPOTHESIS

Alternate hypothesis: There is a significant association between aerobic capacity and expiratory forced vital capacity in overweight obese adults Null hypothesis: There is no significant association between aerobic capacity and expiratory forced vital capacity in overweight obese adults MATERIAL \& METHODS

STUDY DESIGN: Randomized control trial SETTING: FUIRS clinical lab DURATION OF STUDY: 1.5 years SAMPLE SIZE: N=30 (sample size validated through tool)

SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Non probability convenient sampling

Outcome Measures:

Data will be collected on Demographics and general information. VO2 max is being assessed with the help of McArdle Katch test. FVC is being assesed with the help of hand held spirometer device.

Experimental Group (A) = 03 weeks of submaximal exercise according to ACSM guidelines.

Control group (B) =this group is under control with no exercise training.

Data analysis techniques:

The data will be analyzed through SPSS 21 and Data would be analyzed based on the study design chosen that is random control experimental study within the community.

An informed consent is being taken from study participants prior to recruiting in study. After random allocation the participants are being given self-administered PAR-Q followed by pre exercise Expiratory forced vital capacity and VO2 max measurement by the PI.

Significance of study:

This study will make people become aware of their current physical fitness level, so the lifestyle behaviors can be modified if needed, in order to improve their quality of life This study will open new doors for researchers to do long term studies by using different parametes of lungs function test available in hand held spirometer.

What participants receive

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

  • submaximal exercise testing according to ACSM guidelinesBehavioural

    For Moderate-intensity exercises includes either 30 min a day for five days a week or a total of two hours and 30 min per week using 50% to 70% of maximum heart rate

Study groups in NCT05145088
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control GroupNo interventionThe participants in this group are under control and not perfoming any exercise, and their life style is NOT consistent with any kind of submaximal exercise training designed as per protocol.
Experimental groupExperimentalthe particpants are made to perform submaximal exercise testing according to ACSM guidelines for 03 weeks. For Moderate-intensity exercises includes either 30 min a day for five days a week or a total of two hours and 30 min per week using 50% to 70% of maximum heart rate. The data will be calculated at two times in the form of pre and post testing.
Receives: Behavioral: submaximal exercise testing according to ACSM guidelines

What is being measured

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

  1. VO2 max

    It is going to measure the aerobic capacity of the individuals.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. VO2 max

    It is going to measure the aerobic capacity of the individuals.

    Measured: 3rd week

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. BMI

    Change in BMI after submaximal exercise training

    Measured: Day 1

  2. BMI

    Change in BMI after submaximal exercise training of 3 weeks.

    Measured: 3rd week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing submaximal exercise testing according to ACSM guidelines in people with Overweight and Obese Adults, run by Foundation University Islamabad 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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Dec 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dr Summyia Siddique Malik, MSPT (+923208550611, summyia.siddique@fui.edu.pk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

VO2 max (time frame: Day 1). 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 6 Dec 2021.
