Comparison Of Uninclined And Inclined Treadmill Training In Obese Adults.
Condition: Obesity
MeSH terms: Obesity
Study type: Interventional

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.
    

Detailed 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.
    

Intervention name(s): Inclined Treadmill Training; Uninclined Treadmill Training
Intervention type(s): Other; Other
Intervention description(s): Research subjects will be included in the study according to the inclusion criteria and would be randomized into 2 groups, namely inclined treadmill training group and uninclined treadmill training group and will receive intervention for 6 weeks. The participants will be considered as a experimental group with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and increased inclination of 1% after every one minute. FIIT FORMULA will be considered while providing intervention for 5 days per week to the subjects of each group. The FITT program for the participants will be starting with Warmup of 5 mints with Frequency of 5days/week for 6 weeks with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and increased inclination of 1% after every one minute for 30 minutes ending with Cool down for 5 minutes.; Research subjects will be included in the study according to the inclusion criteria and would be randomized into 2 groups, namely inclined treadmill training group and uninclined treadmill training group and will receive intervention for 6 weeks. The participants will be considered as a active comparator with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and fixed inclination. FIIT FORMULA will be considered while providing intervention for 5 days per week to the subjects of each group. The FITT program for the participants will be starting with Warmup of 5 mints with Frequency of 5days/week for 6 weeks with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and fixed inclination for 30 minutes ending with Cool down for 5 minutes.
