About this study
Official title: The Effect of Different Exercise Models on Body Fat Levels and Bone Mineral Density in Sedentary Female Individuals
The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of different exercise models on body fat percentage and bone mineral density in sedentary women. Twenty-four volunteer sedentary female participants were divided into four groups using stratified randomization: core exercise group, core-walking group, walking group, and step group. Training protocols lasted for 3 days a week over an 8-week period. Fat and bone mineral density measurements were performed in the department of radiology at Selcuk University Faculty of Medicine Hospital.

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

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Step Group | Experimental | Sedentary women performing step exercises. Receives: Behavioral: 8-Week Exercise Training Programs |
| Core Exercise Group | Experimental | Sedentary women performing core exercises. Receives: Behavioral: 8-Week Exercise Training Programs |
| Core-Walking Group | Experimental | Sedentary women performing combined core and walking exercises. Receives: Behavioral: 8-Week Exercise Training Programs |
| Walking Group | Experimental | Sedentary women performing walking exercises. Receives: Behavioral: 8-Week Exercise Training Programs |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Changes in Regional and Total Body Fat Percentages
Evaluation of the effects of different exercise models on specific body fat distribution parameters, including regional (arms, legs, body, android, gynoid) and total body fat percentages, measured via radiological body composition analysis.
Measured: Baseline and post-intervention (at 8 weeks)
Secondary outcomes (1)
Changes in Regional and Total Bone Mineral Density
Evaluation of the effects of different exercise models on skeletal health by measuring regional and total bone mineral density (BMD) scores performed in the department of radiology.
Measured: Baseline and post-intervention (at 8 weeks)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing 8-Week Exercise Training Programs in people with Sedentary Behavior and Body Fat Distribution, run by Bingol University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
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 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 15 Oct 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?
Changes in Regional and Total Body Fat Percentages (time frame: Baseline and post-intervention (at 8 weeks)). 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 15 Oct 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
