Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Study design The study was designed as a prospective controlled randomized trial. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups. In the experimental group, participants (n = 17) received 8-week aerobic exercise intervention without nutrition modifications. In the control group, participants (n = 16) did not undergo any intervention and were instructed to maintain their regular physical activity and diet regime for 8 weeks.

Experimental measurements: Anthropometric measurements, Measurement of BDNF, Cardiac autonomic responses, Measurement of aerobic fitness, Measurement of cognitive functions.

Study Groups

Aerobic exercise

Exercise intervention. The experimental group increased their energy expenditure according to American College of Sports Medicine and WHO-based physical activity recommendations for all adults to promote clinically significant weight loss and for additional health benefits: 300 min of moderate-intensity aerobic training throughout the week (WHO, 2010; Swift et al. 2014). Participants underwent five 60 min moderate-intensity cycling sessions per week for a period of 8 weeks, 40 sessions in total. Each session involved 5 min of warm up at 40 Watts, cycling for 50 min at a speed that increased their HR to a target HR obtained at 50-60% of peak VO2, and a 5 min of cool down at 40 Watts.
