Trial summary

Thanks to improved healthcare, the life expectancy of people with ID is increasing and is approaching that of the general population. Several studies have shown that most cardiovascular disease (CVRF) risk factors are as common or even more common in people with ID than in the general population. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Progressive Resistance Exercise Training (PRET) on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Adults With ID.

Thanks to improved healthcare, the life expectancy of people with ID is increasing and is approaching that of the general population. Several studies have shown that most cardiovascular disease (CVRF) risk factors are as common or even more common in people with ID than in the general population. The guidelines of the American College of Sport Medicine (ACSM) state that a resistance training (RT) programme can can effectively reduce CVRF if performed at a high intensity. A secondary benefit of RT is the increase in muscle strength and muscle mass that can reduce and can improve the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL), also two common problems in people with ID.

Read the detailed description

This study has a repeated time series design with one study group. The study period will last one year and is divided into a 12-week baseline period, a 24-week intervention period (PRET programme), and a 12-week follow-up period. The PRET programme will take 24 weeks and consists of two sessions per week, with at least 48 hours between the sessions. The intervention will be led by experienced physiotherapists and physical activity instructors employed by the care providers. All instructors take part in a training prior to the study. In this training, the intervention protocol and exercises will be discussed and practiced ensuring that the intervention is delivered according to the protocol. Every session consists of seven exercises (RESID) to train all large muscle groups. The programme is in accordance with the ACSM guidelines and characterised by four mesocycles. Each mesocycle consists of six weeks of training. After each mesocycle the training intensity will increase gradually, and within each mesocycle the weights will be adjusted in a way that the intensity remains equal. Training intensity will be measured by the percentage of the heaviest load one can lift for one repetition (% of 1RM). In the first mesocycle, participants are introduced to the resistance exercises and familiarised to the training protocol. They will learn to perform the exercises safely and with good posture. During mesocycles 2, 3, and 4, the number of repetitions will be gradually decreased while the training intensity will be gradually increased until vigorous intensity is reached in the fourth mesocycle (80% of 1RM). The resting time between sets will depend on the training intensity and varies between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. The instructors will register attendance, training intensity, performed number of sets and repetitions, and the weights used for each exercise in a log.

What participants receive

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

  • Progressive resistance exercise trainingOther

    A 24-week progressive strength training programme (PRET). Divided into 4 mesocycles in which the intensity of training is built up from 60% 1RM- 80% 1RM. Training is carried out twice a week under the guidance of a physiotherapist or exercise instructor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Progressive resistance exercise training in people with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 and Hypertension, run by Erasmus Medical Center at 3 sites in Netherlands.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Netherlands. 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?

Glycated Haemoglobin (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). The study lists 4 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 30 Aug 2024.
