About this study
Official title: Resistance Training and Cardiometabolic Risk in Women With Metabolically Healthy and Unhealthy Obesity
Little is known on the effects of resistance training (RT) alone in individuals with metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO). The present study aimed to examine the impact of RT on body composition, physical performance, lipid-lipoprotein profile, inflammation, and glucose-insulin homeostasis in 51 sedentary, postmenopausal women categorized as MHO vs MUHO, according to the Karelis and Rabasa- Lhoret classification or a single-phenotype adiposopathy approach (the plasma adiponectin (A)/leptin (L) ratio). Participants followed a 4-month weekly RT program of 3 non-consecutive days of 6 exercises of major muscle groups (3 sets of 10 repetitions at 80% 1-RM).
Read the detailed description
Several studies have examined MHO individuals' responses to weight loss interventions. Caloric restriction decreases body weight and body fat, notably visceral fat accumulation, of both MHO and MUHO pre- and postmenopausal women, although changes in MUHO women are usually more important. In addition, while insulin sensitivity of MUHO women increases after a 12-week diet, it is significantly worsened in postmenopausal MHO women. In this regard, previous works have shown discordant data of interventions including physical activity on the cardiometabolic risk and more particularly, insulin sensitivity. Indeed, diet or aerobic training alone or combined aerobic and resistance training (RT), in men and postmenopausal women yielded promising results as insulin sensitivity increased in both MUHO and MHO participants, with greater changes in the MUHO groups. However, the heterogeneity of the population (analysis without considering sex differences) as well as the type and duration (3 to 6 months) of different interventions make it difficult to generalize these results. As an example, insulin sensitivity was improved in MUHO men and women, while it remained unchanged in MHO participants after a 9-month intervention combining diet and exercise. Moreover, a 14-week community-based aerobic exercise program increased participants' cardiorespiratory fitness and reduced the number of metabolic syndrome components of MHO men and women. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has compared yet the impact of a RT program on MUHO and MHO individuals.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Resistance exercise in people with Metabolic Syndrome, run by Université du Québec a Montréal.
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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Insulin resistance (IR) (time frame: Baseline and after 4 months). 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 30 Nov 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
