About this study
As health awareness continues to rise, more people are prioritizing exercise to improve physical condition and enhance overall fitness. For those lacking exercise habits, selecting a simple, accessible, and effective workout becomes crucial. Against a backdrop of prolonged sitting and inactivity, "super slow jogging" is gaining attention. This aerobic exercise involves a slow walking pace and low intensity, yet burns more calories than regular walking, making it an ideal entry-level activity for beginners or those with lower fitness levels. This study aims to investigate whether incorporating super slow jogging training can effectively enhance cardiorespiratory fitness and respiratory function, comparing its outcomes with other exercise types. The purpose of this experiment is academic research, primarily exploring the impact of exercise intervention on physiological functions. It is not intended for health screening or medical diagnosis.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Super slow joggingBehavioural
This study is a randomized controlled trial employing simple randomization, where participants draw lots to assign groups. The experiment comprises three groups: the super-slow jogging group, the stationary bicycle group, and the control group. Both exercise intervention groups underwent 50-minute training sessions comprising a 10-minute warm-up, 30-minute main exercise, and 10-minute cool-down.
Super-Slow Jogging Group: Utilized a smart app for pacing assistance, adjusting step frequency weekly:
Week 1: 150 steps/minute Week 2: 180 steps/minute Week 3: 190 steps/minute Week 4: 200 steps/minute Stationary Cycling Group: Participants will engage in continuous cycling training at moderate intensity (60% VO₂max).
Control Group: No exercise training intervention.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Super slow jogging and moderate exercise training in people with Sedentary Lifestlye and Young Adult, run by Fooyin University at 1 site in Taiwan.
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 2 inclusion and 6 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 25 Sep 2026. 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 Taiwan. 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?
Cardiopulmonary Fitness (time frame: Before intervention and the end of intervention at 12 weeks). 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 25 Sep 2026.
