• Conditions: Sarcopenic Obesity

• Registration Number: NCT06671847
• Lead Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of implementing a 24-week at-home chair-based resistance band training intervention, to determine effectiveness of a the a 24-week at-home chair-based resistance band training intervention in improving body composition and to determine the effectiveness of a 24-week at-home chair-based resistance band training intervention in improving physical performance in adults 50 years and older, receiving care at the UT Physicians Center for Healthy Aging.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Feasibility as assessed by the number of people who are able to follow the prescribed exercise regimen at least 50 percent of the time	end of study (24 weeks from baseline)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in body fat	baseline,6-months	This will be assessed using the handheld bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) device (Omron HBF-510)
Change in bone mineral density (BMD) of the femoral neck and lumbar spine	baseline, 1 year from baseline	This will be assessed by the Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)
Handgrip strength	6-months	This will be assessed using a validated handgrip dynamometer
60-second balance as assessed by the the Zibrio Stability Pro scale	6-months	This is determined by the patient standing on the Zibrio Stability Pro Scale unassisted for one minute and will be measured on a scale of 1 to 9 with lower scores indicating higher risk of fall
walking gait speed	6-months	Gait speed will be assessed over a 6-meter distance measured within a private clinic space. The participant will be instructed to walk at their normal walking pace (as if they were walking throughout the house) and the distance/time will be converted to meters/second.Faster walking speed is related to reduced fall-risk, improved physical function, and greater survival .
Blood level of pro-collagen type 1 N-telopeptide (P1NP)	6 months	P1NP is a metabolic marker of bone formation, indicates status of bone loss and a stable or decreased level will be indicating improved metabolism
Frailty as assessed by the Fried criteria	6-months	This consists of 5 items (unintentional weight loss, weakness \[low grip strength\], slowness low, self-reported exhaustion and low physical activity). Patients who meet 1or 2 of the criteria are described as pre-frail and 3 or more as frail.
