Brief Summary

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

Physical inactivity is a key risk factor for cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, negatively affecting emotional well-being by increasing psychological distress and reducing mental health. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a resistance-based physical activity program on physical and psychological outcomes in physically inactive adults.

Detailed Description

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

Background/Objectives: Sedentary behavior is a prevalent risk factor contributing to the development and progression of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Additionally, physical inactivity has been linked to diminished emotional well-being, characterized by elevated levels of psychological distress and compromised mental health. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of a resistance-focused physical activity intervention on both physical and psychological health outcomes in adults with chronically low levels of physical activity. A randomized controlled trial design was employed. The participant comprised 32 adults (mean age = 46.61 ± 7.33 years) included in the study. These individuals were randomly allocated to either a resistance exercise group (EG, n = 15) or a control group (CG, n = 17). Comprehensive assessments were conducted at baseline and following the 12-week intervention. These assessments included evaluations of muscle strength (knee flexors, knee extensors, ankle dorsiflexors, plantar flexors, and core isometric strength), static and dynamic balance, proprioception, and functional movement capacity (as measured by the Functional Movement Screen (FMS)). Participants' psychological states were quantified using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The EG participated in a supervised resistance training program 3 days per week for 12 weeks, with each session lasting approximately 55-60 minutes. Conversely, the CG did not engage in any structured exercise program and were advised to maintain their customary lifestyle habits throughout the study duration.

Participants and outcome assessors, the data analysts were masked to group assignment throughout the study. The data analysts were not present during the exercise sessions or assessments and did not have access to information that could potentially reveal whether data belonged to the exercise or control group.

Study Groups

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

Exercise group

The 12-week resistance training program consisted of three supervised sessions per week, each lasting approximately 55-60 minutes. Sessions were structured as follows: 5-7 minute dynamic warm-up, 35-40 minutes of resistance training, and 4-5 minutes of stretching for active recovery. Participants were paired based on similar strength fitness levels and progressed according to the principle of periodized progressive overload.

Resistance Training Program

Intervention Type OTHER

The 12-week resistance training program consisted of three supervised sessions per week, each lasting approximately 55-60 minutes. Sessions were structured as follows: 5-7 minute dynamic warm-up, 35-40 minutes of resistance training, and 4-5 minutes of stretching for active recovery.Participants were paired based on similar strength fitness levels and progressed according to the principle of periodized progressive overload. Training was delivered using a circuit protocol with 2-3 sets per exercise. The initial 4-week phase included 2 sets per exercise, with 8-20 repetitions and 1-2 minutes rest between sets. .The program incorporated functional exercises targeting the lower extremities, core, and upper extremities, utilizing equipment such as resistance bands, medicine balls, jump ropes, dumbbells, bars, and stability balls. Participants performed exercises in a circuit sequence, with the intensity, number of sets, and repetitions

control group

did not participate in any structured exercise program during the 12-week study period. The participants were asked to maintain their usual lifestyle habits.
