Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

To analyze the effects of different exercise training modalities (continuous, intervallic, and resistance training) on cardiorespiratory and metabolic fitness of metabolic syndrome patients when this training interacts with their habitual medication.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: MEDICATION AND EXERCISE TRAINING
Early Phase 1

Detailed Description

Objective: The purpose is to study in a group of adults with metabolic syndrome and obesity, the effects of different modalities of exercise training on cardiorespiratory and metabolic fitness. The main objective is to weight the effects of exercise training separately and in conjunction with the subject's habitual pharmacological treatment to identify the best combination of drug and exercise.

Methods and design: Randomized, pretest-posttest control group experimental design. Project developed in a single center with the collaboration of the regional public health system.

Subjects: Will be referred by their primary care physicians to our study unit. Up to 40 subjects all of them with metabolic syndrome will be recruited (at least 20% women).

Measurements:
  1. Specifically, the investigators, will study cardiovascular adaptations that increase, i) maximal aerobic capacity measured by VO2max, ii) anaerobic and respiratory compensation point ventilatory thresholds, iii) arterial stiffness, measured by pulse wave velocity (SphygmoCor System), v) central and peripheral blood pressure, and iv) biological markers of endothelial dysfunction using reactive hyperemia with a laser Doppler fluxmeter in central and peripheral blood vessels.

  2. The metabolic adaptations under study will include, i) insulin sensitivity by HOMA-IR,

  1. fat oxidation by indirect calorimetry

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: PLACEBO FIRST THEN MEDICATED

Subjects first receive the PLACEBO tablet during 72 hours (full withdrawal). After a week of taking again their medication (MEDICATION TRIAL), they will be tested again. This procedure will be repeated before and after 4 months of aerobic training.

Drug: MEDICATION AND EXERCISE TRAINING
PARTICIPANTS WILL BE (IN A RANDOMIZED BLINDED FASHION) WITHDRAWN OF THEIR HYPERTENSIVE MEDICATION (I.E., PLACEBO) IN ONE OCCASION AND TESTED WITH THEIR MEDICATION IN ANOTHER, WITH A WEEK WASHOUT PERIOD. THIS TESTING WILL BE REPEATED AFER 4 MONTHS OF EXERCISE TRAINING (48 SESSIONS OF 43 MIN EACH ONE).

Experimental: MEDICATED FIRST THEN PLACEBO

Subjects first receive their antihypertensive MEDICATION tablet (habitual dose prescribed by their primary care doctors). After a week they will take a PLACEBO tablet for 72 hours and will be tested again. This procedure will be repeated before and after 4 months of aerobic training.

    Index of cardiorespiratory fitness assessed during an incremental cycle-ergometer test using an indirect calorimetry system. Value is the difference between the placebo and antihypertensive medication.

  2. Maximal Rate of Fat Oxidation. [Subject tested before and after 4 months of training. At baseline tested with and without medication separated 72 hours. Post training tested with and without medication separated 72 hours.]

    Calculated in grams per min during the incremental cycloergometer test wih the use of indirect calorimetry system. Value is the difference between the placebo and antihypertensive medication.

  3. Body Weight [Subject tested before and after 4 months of training. At baseline tested with and without medication separated 72 hours. Post training tested with and without medication separated 72 hours.]

Study Results

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details
Pre-assignment Detail All participants underwent four trials in a full cross-over randomized fashion. Subject tested before and after 4 months of training. At baseline subjects were tested on two occasions, one with and one without medication separated 72 hours. Post-training testing was similarly conducted with and without medication separated 72 hours.
Arm/Group Title MEDICATED FIRST THEN PLACEBO PLACEBO FIRST THEN MEDICATED
Arm/Group Description Subjects will remain taking their habitual antihypertensive medication during this time. After this first test, they will receive placebo during 72 h and will be tested again. Subjects will be withdrawn from their habitual antihypertensive medication during 72 hours, which will be substituted by a placebo. Then their habitual medication will be restated and they will be tested again.
