About this study

Official title: The Effect of Exercise-Oriented Training on Physical Activity Level and Exercise Awareness in Overweight and Obese Women: A Randomized-Controlled Trial

This study aimed to investigate the effect of an exercise-oriented training on physical activity level and exercise awareness in overweight and obese women. Participants will randomized into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) and followed-up for three months. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ) will be applied to both groups at the beginning and end of the study to determine the level of physical activity, and the Exercise Health Belief Model Scale (EHBM) will be applied to evaluate the exercise awareness level, and anthropometric measurements (weight, body mass index, waist circumference) will recorded. The CG will receive no other interventions other than routine recommendations. The IG will be given face-to-face training to increase exercise awareness along with routine recommendations after the first meeting, and they will be contacted by phone every two weeks for three months.

Read the detailed description

Obesity and insufficient physical activity are among the most important health problems of today. Both obesity and physical inactivity are risk factors for many chronic diseases. This study aimed to investigate the effect of an exercise-oriented training on physical activity level and exercise awareness in overweight and obese women. Participants (n=112) were randomized into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG) and followed-up for three months. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ) was applied to both groups at the beginning and end of the study to determine the level of physical activity, and the Exercise Health Belief Model Scale (EHBM) was applied to evaluate the exercise awareness level, and anthropometric measurements (weight, body mass index, waist circumference) were recorded. The CG received no other interventions other than routine recommendations. The IG was given face-to-face training to increase exercise awareness along with routine recommendations after the first meeting, and they were contacted by phone every two weeks for three months.

What participants receive

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

  • Exercise-oriented trainingBehavioural

    Also called close follow-up

    IG received an exercise-oriented training with a 20-minute presentation including graphics, in line with clinical guidelines, in addition to routine recommendations. The training included information about the benefits of exercise and the harms of a sedentary life, the relationship between exercise and chronic diseases, suggestions to have a more active lifestyle and on how to exercise, the duration and form of exercise necessary for a healthy life, and the things to be considered while exercising. During the three-month follow-up, the subjects in the IG were called every two weeks to ask about their weight measurements, their level of exercise, and how much they walked. The subjects' questions, if any, were answered, and the interview was completed by making exercise suggestions.

What is being measured

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

  1. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form was used to determine the physical activity level at the beginning and end of the study

    The International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form was used to determine the physical activity level at the beginning and end of the study. The minimum score is <600 Maximal Exercise Test (MET) -minute/week while the maximum score is >3000 MET-minute/week . High score means high exercise belief.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Exercise Health Belief Model Scale

    Exercise Health Belief Model Scale was used to evaluate the exercise awareness levels of all participants. The minimum score is 25 while the maximum score is 125. High score means high exercise belief.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Anthropometric measure

    Body Mass Index was used as an anthropometric measurement. All of the participants were recorded . It is measured as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Body fat

    body fat percentage were recorded.

    Measured: 3 months
