About this study

Official title: The Effect of Different Order of Concurrent Training Consisting Aerobic and Resistance Exercise on Improving Visceral Adipose Tissue and Insulin Resistance for Community Residents With Obesity.

Purposes: The purpose of one-year project is to compare the effect of different intrasession exercise order of AE and RE during concurrent training on reducing VAT and improving insulin resistance for inactive middle-age community residents with obesity.

Methods: Purposive sampling will be used to enroll community residents aged 40-64 years with inactive habit and body fat percentage ≧ 25% for male and ≧ 30% for female in southern Taiwan. Eligible participants will be stratified by sex and age (40-55years and 56-64 years) then block randomly divided into training group of AE preceding RE, RE preceding AE or a control group. The exercise training program will under supervision lasting 16 weeks with 3 times per week. The concurrent training prescription consist of AE 30 minutes and RE 15 minutes per session. A 5-minute interval between two exercise modalities. All participants will be evaluated outcomes for two time points including baseline (T0) and after 16-week intervention (T1). The primary outcomes are VAT and insulin resistance. A two-way ANOVA with repeated measures will be performed to compare changes of outcome variables over the intervention period.

Relevance to clinical practice: The results of this project can assist health professionals to know how to properly prescribe concurrent training of AE and RE to achieve the greatest effects on VATreduction and insulin resistance improvement for middle-age residents with obesity.

Read the detailed description

Background: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) accumulation is highly linking with cardiovascular diseases and insulin resistance. A combination of aerobic exercise (AE) and resistance exercise (RE) was an effective strategy to improve VAT and insulin resistance; however, no current evidence displayed whether the different orders of concurrent training (AE preceding RE or RE preceding AE) influence the effects on VAT reduction and insulin resistance improvement.

Purposes: The purpose of one-year project is to compare the effect of different intrasession exercise order of AE and RE during concurrent training on reducing VAT and improving insulin resistance for inactive middle-age community residents with obesity.

Methods: Purposive sampling will be used to enroll community residents aged 40-64 years with inactive habit and body fat percentage ≧ 25% for male and ≧ 30% for female in Tainan. Eligible participants will be stratified by sex and age (40-55years and 56-64 years) then block randomly divided into training group of AE preceding RE, RE preceding AE or a control group. The exercise training program will under supervision lasting 16 weeks with 3 times per week. The concurrent training prescription consist of AE 30 minutes and RE 15 minutes per session. A 5-minute interval between two exercise modalities. The control group will follow their primary lifestyle without exercise intervention. All participants will be evaluated outcomes for two time points including baseline (T0) and after 16-week intervention (T1). The primary outcomes are VAT and insulin resistance. VAT is measured by body composition analyzer and insulin resistance is calculate from fasting glucose and insulin level in blood samples. A two-way ANOVA with repeated measures will be performed to compare changes of outcome variables over the intervention period.

Relevance to clinical practice: The results of this project can assist health professionals to know how to properly prescribe concurrent training of AE and RE to achieve the greatest effects on VATreduction and insulin resistance improvement for middle-age residents with obesity.

What participants receive

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

  • aerobic exerciseBehavioural

    The main AE program will be designed and controlled for at least moderate intensity of heart rate reserve (HRR) lasting 30 minutes. The goal of intensity will be set at least 40% of HRR during the first two weeks, and then progressively increase the targeted intensity at the end of 16 weeks with 60% HRR. The motions will design by involving core muscle training (e.g., march, step touch, lunge, V-step, box step, twist, knee up, scoop, and scissors).

  • resistance exerciseBehavioural

    In the process, the participants will be instructed by resisting the weight smoothly, and peaking at hold. RE prescription consist of 2-4 sets with 10-15 repetitions per set with a rest interval of 1-2 minutes between sets to improve muscular fitness.

    The first two weeks will start with two sets of 10-15 repetitions and then gradually progress on four sets of 15 repetitions at the end of 16 weeks. The total duration of RE will lasting around 15 minutes.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 6 Feb 2024. 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 Taiwan. 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?

visceral adipose tissue (time frame: at baseline). The study lists 6 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 Feb 2024.
