Exercise Adherence in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified medical advice, visits or professional assistance with a genuine dr.. We are not doctors. Always consult your mD about Exercise Adherence in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Exercise Adherence in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program Clinical research trials and Exercise Adherence in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program medical trials take place in many of places throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectiveness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find cures for all varieties of conditions, like Exercise Adherence in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program. Exercise Adherence in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to have health treatment options before they are available to the masses. Many times the human subjects acquire professional assistance for free of charge, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Exercise Adherence in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program clinical trial. Test subjects typically obtain the finest healthcare available for their Exercise Adherence in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program condition. Dangers are a reality, nevertheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, medical dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with strict guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Exercise Adherence in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program
For Condition: Cardiovascular Diseases,Obesity,Heart Diseases
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) ,
Synopsis: To develop intervention strategies that improve long-term exercise adherence in obese adults in in order to improve long-term weight loss.
Details: BACKGROUND: Even though exercise improves long-term weight loss maintenance and reduces the risks of cardiovascular disease and Type II diabetes mellitus, obese adults are prone to drop out of exercise programs. Dr. Jakicic's prior findings suggest that exercise adherence can be enhanced and short-term weight loss can be improved by making exercise more convenient via prescribing exercise in multiple short bouts, rather than one bout per day. Effects on long-term exercise adherence and weight loss have not been examined, however. His findings also suggest that providing more exercise options by placing exercise equipment in the home may also increase adherence, as evidenced by a significant correlation between the presence of home exercise equipment and physical activity. However, no experimental studies have tested whether placing exercise equipment in the home actually increases exercise adherence and weight loss. DESIGN NARRATIVE: The study tested the hypothesis that prescribing exercise in multiple short bouts would improve long-term exercise adherence and long-term weight loss, and that the addition of home exercise equipment would further improve these outcomes. A total of 148 overweight women were recruited and randomized to one of three treatments: 1) long-bout exercise; 2) short-bout exercise; 3) short- bout exercise + home exercise equipment. All subjects participated in an 18-month behavioral weight loss program, in which body weight was assessed at 0, 6, 12, and 18 months and exercise adherence was assessed throughout the 18 months. Cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular disease risk factors were measured at 0, 6, and 18 months.
