Home-Based Exercise for Adults Living With Overweight and Obesity
- Conditions
- Overweight and Obesity
- Interventions
- Behavioral: Home-based exercise programme
- Registration Number
- NCT05807386
- Lead Sponsor
- Coventry University
- Brief Summary
The study aims to implement a 12-week home-based exercise programme utilising an online intervention delivery platform. The focus will be on increasing exercise behaviour within the participant's home setting using aerobic, resistance and flexibility exercises as well as behaviour change techniques. Following the programme, semi-structured interviews will be conducted, to explore participant experiences.
It is hypothesised that the exercise programme will be feasible, accessible and acceptable.

Group Intervention Description Exercise Intervention Home-based exercise programme Participants will undertake a 12 week, online delivered, home-based exercise programme.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through recruitment rate Calculated at trial end, i.e.12 weeks after inclusion. Recruitment rate will be calculated by dividing the number of eligible candidates by the number who consent to participate.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through attrition Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion. Attrition rate will be defined and calculated as discontinuation of the intervention without return.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through adherence Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion. Adherence will calculated by monitoring the online platform engagement and outputs from post exercise session questionnaires.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through intervention engagement Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion. Engagement will be calculated by monitoring participant's activity on the online platform.
Feasibility and acceptability of the programme through completion rate Calculated at trial end, i.e. 12 weeks after inclusion. Completion rate will be calculated by dividing the number of participants who successfully complete the programme, by the number of participants that attempt.
Acceptability and experience of the programme via participant interviews Evaluated after intervention period, i.e. up to 12 weeks after inclusion offer. Interviews will take place between the researcher and participant to explore their experience on the programme and identifying areas for improvement. This may be with participants who completed the intervention, withdrew or declined to participate.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Participant Body Mass (kg) Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion. Participant Body Mass will be measured using calibrated, digital scales.
Participant Body Fat Percentage (%) Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion. Participant Body Fat Percentage will be measured using the BiodyXpertZMII.
Participant resting blood pressure (mmHg) Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion. Resting diastolic and systolic blood pressure (mmHg) will be taken using a blood pressure monitor.
Participant Body Mass Index (kg/m^2) Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion. BMI will be calculated from combining body mass (kg) and participant height (cm).
Participant Fat Free Mass (%) Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion. Participant Fat Free Mass will be measured using the BiodyXpertZMII.
Participant Body Fat Mass (kg) Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion. Participant Body Fat Mass will be measured using the BiodyXpertZMII.
Participant waist to hip ratio Taken at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks/programme completion. Waist to hip ratio will be calculated from combining measures of waist circumference (cm) and hip circumference (cm).
