About this study
Official title: Exploring the Effectiveness and Trajectory of Adherence to Web-based Exercise Among Community-dwelling Adults With High Body Fat
The study findings can derive an effective exercise type either web-based or supervise exercise as well as build a series of exercise video that can promote self-exercise at home for health promotion for community residents.
Read the detailed description
Background: Web-based exercise is effective alternative training for community residents on health improvement; however, adherence to their performance is challenging.
Purpose: This study aimed to (1) compare the effectiveness of 16-week exercise on improving blood samples, body composition, and anthropometric parameters between web-based exercise and supervised exercise; and (2) examine the trajectory of exercise adherence of web-based exercise for attendance and intensity over time for community-dwelling adults with high body fat.
Design: A two-arm randomized control trial. Method: Participants who received 16-week supervised exercise for aerobic exercise training on 2020 in our previous project was served as one of control groups (n = 34). In present project, purposive sampling will be used to enroll a target of 66 community-dwelling residents aged 40-64 years with inactive habits and body fat percentage ≧ of 25% for males and ≧ 30% for females in study. Eligible participants will be stratified by sex and then block randomly divided into web-based exercise or a control group (without any exercise intervention). The web-based exercise will prescribe a 30-minute of aerobic exercise at least moderate intensity prescription for three times per week. Heart rate reserve and self-perceived exertion will be self-recorded on the web by participants. Generalized estimating equations will be used to explore the effectiveness of web-based exercise.
Implications: The study findings can derive an effective exercise type either web-based or supervise exercise as well as build a series of exercise video that can promote self-exercise at home for health promotion for community residents.

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?
The change of cholesterol (time frame: two times (from baseline to the end of 16-week)). The study lists 11 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 22 May 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
