About this study
Official title: Effect of Repeated Downhill Walking Bouts on Ankle Isokinetic Parameters in Children With Obesity
Downhill training help to improve musculoskeletal condition. Applying downhill training could help obese children by improving their muscular strength.
Read the detailed description
the current study aimed to find the effect of downhill training on the ankle isokinetic parameters of obese children. There were two experimental groups, the first received level walking while the second received downhill training. The ankle isokinetic parameters were assessed pre and post-intervention for 6 weeks.

- Obesity
- Being tested
- Level walking exercise, Downhill exercise

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Level walking exercise and Downhill exercise in people with Obesity, run by Taif University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.
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 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2022. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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?
Isokinetic eccentric plantarflexion tourque (time frame: 6 weeks). 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 2 Feb 2022.
