Effects of Novel Breathing Behavior Modification Yoga Positioning

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is to evaluate the physical and cognitive effects of a 15 min per day novel breathing and mindfulness moving-meditation program on metabolism, cognition, and emotion health. It is thought that the breathing and movement program will increase basal metabolism, facilitate fat loss, and decrease depressive behaviors. Anthropometric, blood chemistries, and cognitive measures of depression, sleep, and hunger will be measured over a two-month interventional program.

Clinical Trial Description

Subjects will be randomized into two groups, an active group and control group. For the first 30 days, the active group will follow the movement/breath program and the controls will be instructed not to change their lifestyle (no change in diet, and no change in exercise / physical activities). The technicians taking measurements will be blinded as to which participants are actives vs controls. The following 30 days' intervention will consist of continuing the Phase I interventions combined with implementing the behavior change strategies on 2 to 3 habit changes self-selected from a list of 30 top "bad habits" that contribute to weight gain and undermine one's ability to lose weight with the control group again not changing any lifestyle activities. Measurements: Measurements will be taken at the start (baseline), 10 days, 30 days, and 60 days of intervention with the measurement days scheduled to evaluate people completing 10 full days of the program, 30 full days, and 60 full days respectively. Measurements taken at each interval to include weight, body composition (lean mass & fat percentages), anthropometric measurements (umbilicus, hips, right thigh, right upper arm), pO2, resting heart rate, HRV, blood pressure, pulmonary health (i.e., O2 max, spirometry), hunger, sleep, and depression rating (by self-assessment survey scale). Serum chemistry for basic metabolic panel, inflammatory markers, and lipids, hematology for oxygen carrying capacity and gross immune response, Human Growth Factor production via ELISA quantification, imaging ultrasound to measure subcutaneous fat thickness at the areas of girth measurements, DEXA for overall and targeted areas body composition, and resting metabolic rate via oxygen plethysmograph. ;

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.
