Comparative Study of High Intensity Interval Training and Endurance Training in Juvenile Obesity

NCT02143453 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: HIIT in Juvenile Obesity
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 39
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Exercise is an effective strategy to manage juvenile obesity; however this ideal exercise training mode is still unclear. In this study, the investigators compared the health-related effects of high intensity interval training versus endurance training in obese children.

Conditions

Obesity

Keywords

exercise; overweight; children

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• body mass index (BMI)

  12 weeks

• aerobic conditioning (VO2max)

  12 weeks

• insulin sensitivity (HOMA-index)

  12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

High intensity interval training

EXPERIMENTAL

Other: High intensity interval training

Endurance training

EXPERIMENTAL

Other: Endurance training

Interventions

Endurance training OTHER

30 to 60-minute continuous exercise at 80% of the peak heart rate

Endurance training

High intensity interval training OTHER

3 to 6 sets of 60-second sprints at 100% of the peak velocity interspersed by a 3-min active recovery period.

High intensity interval training

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 8 Years - 12 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17)

You may qualify if:

• age between 8 and 12 years
• Body mass index (BMI) = 95th percentile, according to the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
• no pharmacological treatment
• no evidence of metabolic, hormonal, orthopedic, and cardiovascular disease at the time of the study's commencement
• no participation in any regular exercise training program (except physical education classes, two days a week) at least 6 months before the commencement of the study and throughout the protocol.

You may not qualify if:

• non-obese participants
• physically active participants
• participants with cardiovascular diseases or any other condition that could preclude the participation in the the exercise training program
