Comparison Of Uninclined And Inclined Treadmill Training In Obese Adults.

Obesity Clinical Trial

Official title: Comparison of Uninclined and Inclined Treadmill Training on, Total Body Fat, Lipid Profile and Quality of Life In Obese Adults.

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of inclined and uninclined treadmill training on total body fat, lipid profile and quality of life in obese adults. The main question it aims to answer is :

Will there be difference between the effectiveness of inclined and uninclined treadmill training on total body fat, lipid profile and quality of life in obese adults.

Participants will be divided into group A and Group B. Group A participants will be considered as a control group with no inclination of the treadmill and speed of 5.0 mph. Whereas Group B participants will be considered as an interventional group with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and increased inclination of 1% after every one minute.

Clinical Trial Description

Obesity is defined as an excessive or abnormal fat accumulation, with body mass index i.e. BMI ≥ 30kg/m2 presenting multiple conditions related to health. Globally which is associated with high rate of mortality and morbidity and low levels of quality of life in adults. Trainings that include moderate and high intensity exercises are believed to be crucial preventive and anti-obesity treatment strategy now a day. Physical activity is a modifiable factor for obesity. Regular physical activity (PA) is an important component of overall well-being of humans and is well known to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, lipid profile, quality of life which are all negatively correlated with the risks of multiple chronic disease. Treadmill exercises are one of the most commonly known exercise therapy models. It can be modified with inclination like 10 degrees which lies in high intensity activity with HR of 80-90%., uninclined treadmill lies in category of moderate intensity physical activity with HR of 55-60%.Advance studies states that HIIT treadmill with variations in inclination is a good way to decrease body fat mass percentage in obese/overweight individuals. In this study Measurements of the anthropometrics of body like bodyweight, BMI (body mass index), WHR (waist and hip ratio), and body fat mass were calculated pre and post the intervention which shows that there was significant decrease in body fat mass percentage according to study.

Literature was reviewed regarding treadmill training effect on total body fat, and lipid profile in different groups of population. The purpose of this study will be to assess the effect of uninclined and inclined treadmill training on obese adults and its effect on calorie burn. This study will help to determine whether which treadmill training is effective to get more benefits on health in less time and on lipid profile and total body fat in obese adults. ;
