Brief Summary

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

To determine the effects of Short duration moderate intensity soleus push- ups VS Sustained Soleus Push-ups on lipid profile among Young Population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The soleus muscle is a special type of muscle in our body that uses blood glucose for energy. It can work for a long time without getting tired. This muscle does not store energy like other muscles do. Instead, it directly uses the glucose in our blood.

Soleus push-ups are a type of exercise that targets this muscle. They could be really useful to stimulate our metabolism and keep blood lipids under control. Some studies suggest that doing soleus push-ups for a long time can positively affect our blood.

But we're not sure how different types of soleus pushups affect our blood fats. That's what this study wants to discover. We want to compare how doing sustained soleus curls for a long time compares to doing shorter, moderate intensity soleus curls. We want to see if the shorter ones can give us similar or even better results in improving our blood fats.

By conducting this study, we hope to learn more about how specific exercises can help us keep our hearts healthy and blood fats in balance. We will take a close look at the data we collect and use it to understand what type of exercise might be best for improving our blood fat levels.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Short Duration Moderate Intensity Soleus Push-ups (Group A)

Moderate physical activity involving weighted soleus push-ups performed till patient MHR is achieved.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Short Duration Moderate Intensity Soleus Push-ups

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will start soleus pushups in sitting positions. To do so, the participants will be in a seated position, the legs will be at 90 degrees to the floor, and the feet will be placed flat on the ground.

Participants will then move their heels up and down continuously. Soleus push-ups will be performed with moderate intensity using weights which will be placed on their laps.

Participants will perform this activity till 60-70% of their maximum heart rate is achieved and maintained.

Sustained Soleus Push-ups (Group B)

sustained soleus push-ups will be performed for up to 270 min.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

SUSTAINED SOLEUS PUSH-UPS

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will start soles push-ups in sitting. To do so, the participants will be in a seated position, the legs will be at 90 degrees to the floor, and the feet will be placed flat on the ground.

Participants will then move their heels up and down continuously. Sustained soleus push-ups will be performed with light intensity for up to 270 mins.

No external resistance will be added. Participants will be provided with a maximum 4-minute break time after every 90 mins intervention. In the meantime, their blood sample will be collected.
