Comparison Of Uninclined And Inclined Treadmill Training In Obese Adults.

July 18, 2023 updated by: Riphah International University

Comparison of Uninclined and Inclined Treadmill Training on, Total Body Fat, Lipid Profile and Quality of Life In Obese Adults.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of inclined and uninclined treadmill training on total body fat, lipid profile and quality of life in obese adults. The main question it aims to answer is :

Will there be difference between the effectiveness of inclined and uninclined treadmill training on total body fat, lipid profile and quality of life in obese adults.

Participants will be divided into group A and Group B. Group A participants will be considered as a control group with no inclination of the treadmill and speed of 5.0 mph. Whereas Group B participants will be considered as an interventional group with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and increased inclination of 1% after every one minute.

Detailed Description

Obesity is defined as an excessive or abnormal fat accumulation, with body mass index i.e. BMI ≥ 30kg/m2 presenting multiple conditions related to health. Globally which is associated with high rate of mortality and morbidity and low levels of quality of life in adults. Trainings that include moderate and high intensity exercises are believed to be crucial preventive and anti-obesity treatment strategy now a day. Physical activity is a modifiable factor for obesity. Regular physical activity (PA) is an important component of overall well-being of humans and is well known to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, lipid profile, quality of life which are all negatively correlated with the risks of multiple chronic disease. Treadmill exercises are one of the most commonly known exercise therapy models. It can be modified with inclination like 10 degrees which lies in high intensity activity with HR of 80-90%., uninclined treadmill lies in category of moderate intensity physical activity with HR of 55-60%.Advance studies states that HIIT treadmill with variations in inclination is a good way to decrease body fat mass percentage in obese/overweight individuals. In this study Measurements of the anthropometrics of body like bodyweight, BMI (body mass index), WHR (waist and hip ratio), and body fat mass were calculated pre and post the intervention which shows that there was significant decrease in body fat mass percentage according to study.

Literature was reviewed regarding treadmill training effect on total body fat, and lipid profile in different groups of population. The purpose of this study will be to assess the effect of uninclined and inclined treadmill training on obese adults and its effect on calorie burn. This study will help to determine whether which treadmill training is effective to get more benefits on health in less time and on lipid profile and total body fat in obese adults.

  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Inclined Treadmill Training Group

The Inclined Treadmill Training Group will be considered as an Experimental group with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and increased inclination of 1% after every one minute. The FITT program for the participants will be:

  • Warmup: 5 mints
  • Frequency: 5days/week for 4 weeks.
  • Intensity: fixed speed of 5.0 mph and increased inclination of 1% after every one minute.
  • Time: 30 minutes
  • Type: 1% Inclined treadmill
  • Cool down: 5 mints
Other: Inclined Treadmill Training
Research subjects will be included in the study according to the inclusion criteria and would be randomized into 2 groups, namely inclined treadmill training group and uninclined treadmill training group and will receive intervention for 6 weeks. The participants will be considered as a experimental group with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and increased inclination of 1% after every one minute. FIIT FORMULA will be considered while providing intervention for 5 days per week to the subjects of each group. The FITT program for the participants will be starting with Warmup of 5 mints with Frequency of 5days/week for 6 weeks with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and increased inclination of 1% after every one minute for 30 minutes ending with Cool down for 5 minutes.
Active Comparator: Uninclined Treadmill Training Group

The uninclined Treadmill Training Group will be considered as active comparator with no inclination of the treadmill and speed of 5.0 mph. The FIIT program for the participants will be:

  • Warmup: 5 mints
  • Frequency: 5days/week for 4 weeks.
  • Intensity fixed speed of 5.0 mph and no inclination.
  • Time: 30 minutes
  • Type: uninclined treadmill
  • Cool down: 5 mints
Other: Uninclined Treadmill Training
Research subjects will be included in the study according to the inclusion criteria and would be randomized into 2 groups, namely inclined treadmill training group and uninclined treadmill training group and will receive intervention for 6 weeks. The participants will be considered as a active comparator with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and fixed inclination. FIIT FORMULA will be considered while providing intervention for 5 days per week to the subjects of each group. The FITT program for the participants will be starting with Warmup of 5 mints with Frequency of 5days/week for 6 weeks with fixed speed of 5.0 mph and fixed inclination for 30 minutes ending with Cool down for 5 minutes.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Total Body Fat
Time Frame: 6 Weeks
To estimate the overall amount of body fat, the skinfold thickness is measured using a skinfold caliper. This approach is predicated on the idea that subcutaneous fat is measured by the thickness of the skinfold and that body fat is distributed evenly throughout the body. Four skinfolds are measured in order to determine how much body fat is present overall that includes Biceps muscle fold, Thoracic skinfold, Skinfold on the sub scapula and iliac crest skinfold.
6 Weeks
Body Mass Index
Time Frame: 6 Weeks
A scale or balance is a tool used to determine mass or weight.
6 Weeks
Lipid Profile Level (cholesterol and triglycerides)
Time Frame: 6 weeks
The lipid profile test that is used to check amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in blood.
6 weeks
Quality of Life Questionnaire
Time Frame: 6 Weeks
The WHOQOL, a tool that measures subjective dimensions of quality of life, was created by the World Health Organization (WHO). One of the most well-known tools for comparing quality of life across cultures is the WHOQOL-BREF, which is accessible in more than 40 languages.Each individual question on the WHOQOL-BREF is graded on a response scale, which is defined as a five-point ordinal scale, with scores ranging from 1 to 5. The scores are then linearly translated to a scale from 0 to 100. The mobility, everyday activities, functional ability, energy, pain, and sleep are all part of the physical health domain that are included in the WHOQOL.
