Effect of HICT and LIIT on Functional Strength and Weight Efficacy in Overweight and Obese Females

April 21, 2022 updated by: Riphah International University

Effect of High-Intensity Circuit Training Versus Low-Intensity Interval Training on Functional Strength and Weight Efficacy in Overweight and Obese Young Females.

This study is aimed at determining the effects of high-intensity circuit training versus low-intensity circuit training on functional strength and weight efficacy in overweight and obese females.

Detailed Description

A high-intensity circuit promotes muscle mass and as a result, potentially reduces the incidence of cardiovascular disease and reduces the risk of death in the young population. Low-intensity interval training increases muscle circulation and improving the uptake of oxygen. Both high-intensity circuit training and low-intensity interval training enhance body composition, quality of life, functional fitness and decrease body mass index. These trainings also motivate participants to continue their exercise. This study will help us determine whether high intensity or low-intensity training is more helpful in improving the functional strength and weight efficacy in overweight and obese females. As obesity is on the rise in modern society, our results will help improve the quality of life of obese and overweight females.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: High intensity Circuit training
Intervention will consist of 6 series with 3 minutes rest period between the series. The series will consist of burpees, skipping, 1 legged squats, leg levers, and push-ups. the exercise volume will be increased progressively over 8 weeks.
Other: High intensity circuit training
6 series with 3 minutes rest between the series. each series will consist of 30 seconds each of burpees, skipping, lunges, 1- legged squat, leg levers, and push-ups with 30 seconds rest in between. the volume of exercise will be increased progressively over a period of 8 weeks.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Low intensity interval training
the intervention will consist of 4 series of Low-intensity exercises with 3 minutes of rest. the series will comprise of jogging and walking. the Exercise volume will be increased gradually.
Other: Low intensity interval training
4 series with 3 minutes rest in between. each series will consist of 10 minutes of jogging and 5 minutes walking with 30 seconds recovery in between. the volume of exercise will be increased progressively over a period of 8 weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Functional Strength testing
Time Frame: 8th week
changes from baseline functional strength testing consist of leg levers, push-ups, one-legged squats, and burpees which will be performed as many times as possible in one minute. All tests will be performed with 3 minutes recovery period in between. The number of repetitions for each test will be counted per minute. And this would be repeated at baseline as well as after 8 weeks.
8th week

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
weight efficacy scale
Time Frame: 8th week
changes from baseline Weight efficacy lifestyle questionnaire measures the confidence of the participants in their weight loss ability. It ranges from 0(no confidence) to 10(very confidence)[18]. Its reliability and validity are very high and it can be used in research, clinical and educational fields.
