简要总结

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of adding neuromuscular balance exercises to exercise programs on functional capacity, balance, and physical fitness in individuals with obesity. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving aerobic and strength training exercises or an intervention group receiving aerobic and strength training combined with neuromuscular balance exercises. Both exercise programs will be conducted three times per week for eight weeks. Functional capacity, balance, and physical fitness outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after the intervention period. The findings are expected to contribute to the integration of balance-focused exercises into rehabilitation programs for individuals with obesity.

详细描述

This project will begin with initial assessments of volunteers to examine the effects of balance exercises on postural control and neuromuscular connections in obesity treatment. A multimodal exercise program (neuromuscular balance exercises, aerobic training, and resistance training) will be designed for individuals with obesity, and its effects on physical function, balance impairment, and weight management will be evaluated. In the first phase, participants' static and dynamic balance will be analyzed using clinical scales. In the second phase, an 8-week multimodal exercise program will be implemented, and the outcomes will be comparatively examined in relation to the weight loss process.

The study aims to provide scientific data to support the individualization of exercise programs by examining postural balance adaptations in response to changes in body composition during weight loss. The findings are expected to contribute to more comprehensive physical activity approaches in obesity management and to guide clinical applications.

This study adds a different perspective by evaluating the functional benefits of neuromuscular-based balance exercises in addition to traditional aerobic and strength training exercises. The assessment, conducted in individuals with obesity who have experienced weight loss, is expected to provide important findings for the interpretation and discussion of outcomes.

研究组 & 干预措施

Control group

Active Comparator

Participants in the control group are individuals with obesity or overweight who receive a standardized exercise program that includes aerobic and strength training exercises. The program is performed three times per week over an eight-week period.

干预措施: Aerobic and strength training (Behavioral)

Intervention group

Experimental

Participants in the intervention group consist of individuals with obesity or overweight who receive the same aerobic and strength training program as the control group, with the addition of neuromuscular balance exercises. The intervention is performed three times per week for eight weeks.

干预措施: Aerobic and strength training (Behavioral)

Intervention group

Experimental

Participants in the intervention group consist of individuals with obesity or overweight who receive the same aerobic and strength training program as the control group, with the addition of neuromuscular balance exercises. The intervention is performed three times per week for eight weeks.

干预措施: Neuromuscular balance exercises (Behavioral)

结局指标

主要结局

Dynamic Balance Performance (Four Step Square Test)

时间窗: Baseline, at the 4th weeks and at the end of 8 weeks

Dynamic balance will be assessed using the Four Step Square Test, which measures the time (in seconds) required to complete a multidirectional stepping sequence.

Postural Control (Functional Reach Test)

时间窗: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8

Postural control will be evaluated using the Functional Reach Test, which measures the maximal forward reach distance (in centimeters) while maintaining a fixed base of support.

Walking Endurance (2-Minute Walk Test)

时间窗: Baseline, at the 4th weeks and at the end of 8 weeks

Walking endurance will be assessed using the 2-Minute Walk Test, which measures the total distance walked in meters over a two-minute period.

Lower Extremity Functional Strength (30-Second Chair Stand Test)

时间窗: Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8

Lower extremity functional strength will be evaluated using the 30-Second Chair Stand Test, which measures the number of full stands completed within 30 seconds.

次要结局

  • Health-Related Quality of Life Assessed by the Short Form-12 (SF-12)(Baseline, at the 4th weeks and at the end of 8 weeks)
