About this study

The study will adopt a between-within group design where participants will exercise at 1 of 4 intensities for 30 minutes at SportsPark Reading. Mood, mental health (e.g., state anxiety and immediate depressive feelings) and physiological parameters (heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature) will be assessed before and after exercise intervention to compare the acute change across time for each intensity condition (no exercise (control), low, moderate, high).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline state anxiety

    State subscale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S). The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) measures both state and trait anxiety in adults; it can be used to distinguish whether individuals are experiencing anxiety. Trait anxiety refers to the participant's disposition to anxiety, whereas state anxiety measures the current anxiousness of participants and is more labile. STAI is a questionnaire consisting of forty self-report items. Subjects are asked to rate the intensities of anxious feelings on a four-point scale: not at all, somewhat, moderately so or very much so. Scores range from twenty to eighty, where higher scores correlate with higher state or trait anxiety.

    Measured: In the immediate 10 minutes after the end of the intervention

  2. Change from baseline current mood

    Positive and Negative Mood Schedule (PANAS). This questionnaire contains 20 items consisting of 10 positive and 10 negative emotions. The participants indicate to what extent they feel each emotion right now on a 5-point Likert Scale of 'very slightly =1 or not at all' to 'Extremely= 5'. Adding up the total positive and negative scores will produce overall positive and negative mood scores.

    Measured: In the immediate 10 minutes after the end of the intervention

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change from baseline depressive aspects of mood

    Immediate Mood Scaler (IMS). This questionnaire contains 22 items developed to assess dynamic components of mood. Participants are asked to rate their current mood state on a continuum using 7-point Likert scales (e.g., happy-sad, distracted-focused, sleepy-alert). For each item, an integer score between 1 and 7 is derived. The total score for this scale is the sum of the scores on all 22 items, where a higher score is indicative of better mood.

    Measured: In the immediate 10 minutes after the end of the intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Spin Bike Exercise in people with Healthy and Exercise, run by University of Reading at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 5 Dec 2023. 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 Kingdom. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 from baseline state anxiety (time frame: In the immediate 10 minutes after the end of the intervention). 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 5 Dec 2023.
