Prader-Willi Syndrome Body Composition

Sarcopenia Clinical Trial

Official title: Effects of Therapeutic Elastic Band Training on Body Composition and Physical Capacity in Adults With Prader-Willi Syndrome

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Adults aged over 18 years, with the diagnosis of Prader-willi syndrome will be recruited through the hospital's outpatient clinic for either as intervention group receiving therapeutic elastic band training, or as control group receiving usual care for a total of 16 weeks. Body composition, physical capacity, and serum changes will be assessed before and after the intervention.

Clinical Trial Description

Participants that fulfill the inclusion criteria will be assigned into one of the two arms: elastic band intervention group (EB) or control group (CG). Both groups will received a baseline: dual X-ray absorptiometry body composition, physical capacity, and serum markers examinations. EB will then receive a 16-week progressive elastic band resistance exercise training, while the CG will receive usual care. After the 16 weeks from the baseline assessment, a followed-up: dual X-ray absorptiometry body composition, physical capacity, and serum examinations will be assessed. ;
