- Registration Number
- NCT03710447
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Erlangen-Nürnberg Medical School
- Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to compare the impact of concurrent high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and whole-body electromyostimulation exercise (WB-EMS) or low-volume conventional strength training (CST) on the cardiometabolic risk profile, overall physical fitness (cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength), body composition, inflammatory markers and subjective health outcomes after a 12-week intervention trial in overweight individuals at increased cardiometabolic risk. Furthermore, this study aims to investigate the influence of intra-session exercise order on all outcomes.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in Metabolic Syndrome Z-Score (MetS-Z-Score). 12 weeks MetS-Z-Score will be calculated from each individual's measures of waist circumference, mean arterial blood pressure, triglycerides, and HDL-cholesterol, based on equations specific to sex.
Change in overall Physical Fitness Score (PFS) 12 weeks PFS is calculated from VO2max and 1 Repmax values of 5 major muscle Groups.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in HOMA-IR 12 week Insulin resistance will be estimated using homeostasis model assessment index (HOMA)
Change Inflammation status 12 weeks Inflammation will be assessed by measuring levels of inflammatory blood markers (CRP, inflammatory cytokines)
Change in Health-related quality of life 12 weeks Health-related quality of life will be assessed by using the standardized and validated EQ-5D-5L Questionnaire
Change in Perceived stress 12 weeks Perceived stress will be assessed by using the standardized and validated Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ)
Change in Pain scores 12 weeks Pain scores will be assessed by using the standardized and validated Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire (CPGQ)
Change in Body Composition 12 weeks Muscle mass, fat mass and body water will be measured by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
Change Subjective work ability 12 weeks Subjective work ability will be assessed by using the standardized and validated Work Ability Index Questionnaire (WAI)
