About this study

The study settles in the field of primary prevention and aims to change lifestyle of patients with metabolic syndrome with a new combination of personal and IT-based training specially designed für obese people with risk factors. Procedures that are similar for all participants are summarized in a training program whereas individual aspects of physical activity like initial education and exercise tests are still performed by doctors and trainers. Before and after three months of training anthropometric parameters, laboratory and exercise capacity are examined and analyzed. The intervention group is characterized by a predetermined exercise program whereas the control group is allowed to practise without detailed instructions. The practicability and the effect on health status of the combined personal and IT-based training in the intervention group is compared with the independent training of the control group. After 6 months and again after 12 months the measurements are repeated to evaluate a lasting effect of the program.

Treatment and study plan

Combined 3-monthly endurance and strength training

Other

Combined 3-monthly endurance- (3x/week) and strength training (2x/week) with moderate beginning and continuous increase of volume, duration and intensity, orientated on metabolic equivalents (MET).

Main sport: walking, walk and cycling. Addition with other activities are possible up to once a week to achieve the basal metabolism

    Time frame: 12 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of the effect of IT based training on metabolic parameters

    Time frame: 12 months

    Time frame: 12 months

  3. Change in quality of life and subjective assumption of health sensation

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. Change in anthropometric parameters

    Time frame: 12 months

  5. Raise of maximum performance (max. ergometric performance)
