NCT ID NCT07152028
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This pilot study looked at whether a 6-week supervised exercise program works as well as a 12-week one for obese women. Twenty-one women participated, doing a mix of balance, strength, and cardio exercises. The goal was to see which program led to better adherence and health improvements like balance and strength.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- supervised multimodal exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help design better exercise programs that improve adherence and health in obese women.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 21 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares two exercise durations, not a new treatment.
