Obesity Clinical Trial - Effect of Exercise on Hepatic Fat in Overweight

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of 6 months exercise intervention program on hepatic fat fraction in overweight children.

Methodology: A total of 160 children, 9-11 years old, will be randomly assigned to control (N=80) or intervention (N=80) groups. Training sessions will include 90 minutes of exercise, comprising warm-up and skill development. The control group will attend a healthy lifestyle education program (2 days/month) and the intervention group an exercise (3 days/week) and healthy lifestyle education (2 days/month) combined program. Before and after the intervention (6 months) hepatic fat fraction, body composition, , and cardiometabolic risk factors will be measured. Furthermore, dietary habits and physical activity, blood pressure and pubertal development will be evaluated before and after the intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

The control group will attend a healthy lifestyle education program (2 days/month) and supportive therapy and behavioral advice for both children and parents to improve nutrition and physical activity (nutritionists and psychologists).

The intervention group will attend an exercise (3 days/week) and healthy lifestyle education (2 days/month) combined program. Training sessions will include 90 minutes of exercise, comprising warm-up and skill development, moderate to vigorous aerobic activities, flexibility and strength exercises.

Before (baseline) and after the intervention (6 months) total and abdominal adiposity, lean tissue mass and bone mass density (dual-X-ray-absorptiometry), abdominal visceral and hepatic adiposity (magnetic resonance imaging), and blood insulin, glucose, C-reactive protein, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamil transpeptidase and lipid profile will be measured. Furthermore, cardiorespiratory fitness (treadmill test) and blood pressure will be measured before and after the intervention. Changes (6 months - baseline) in dietary habits will be estimated by using two repeated 24h recalls and food frequency questionnaires and changes (6 months - baseline) in physical activity by accelerometry. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
