Clinical Trial Summary

This study is aimed at determining the effects of high-intensity circuit training versus low-intensity circuit training on functional strength and weight efficacy in overweight and obese females.


Description:

A high-intensity circuit promotes muscle mass and as a result, potentially reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease and reduces the risk of death in the young population. Low-intensity interval training increases muscle circulation and improving the uptake of oxygen. Both high-intensity circuit training and low-intensity interval training enhance body composition, quality of life, functional fitness and decrease body mass index. These trainings also motivate participants to continue their exercise. This study will help us determine whether high intensity or low-intensity training is more helpful in improving the functional strength and weight efficacy in overweight and obese females. As obesity is on the rise in modern society, our results will help improve the quality of life of obese and overweight females.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Functional Strength testing changes from baseline functional strength testing consist of leg levers, push-ups, one-legged squats, and burpees which will be performed as many times as possible in one minute. All tests will be performed with 3 minutes recovery period in between. The number of repetitions for each test will be counted per minute. And this would be repeated at baseline as well as after 8 weeks. 8th week
Secondary weight efficacy scale changes from baseline Weight efficacy lifestyle questionnaire measures the confidence of the participants in their weight loss ability. It ranges from 0(no confidence) to 10(very confidence)[18]. Its reliability and validity are very high and it can be used in research, clinical and educational fields. 8th week
