Impact of Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise on Autonomic Function and Cardiopulmonary Endurance in Obese College Students
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Feb 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study explores the potential link between aerobic exercise combined with resistance training and improvements in cardiopulmonary function in obese individuals, focusing particularly on the influence of autonomic nerve function. By examining the effects of combined exercise on obese college students, this research aims to elucidate the critical role that autonomic nerve function improvement plays in enhancing cardiopulmonary function in this demographic. The study primarily utilized a combined exercise regimen of aerobic and resistance exercises, conducted three times a week over a period of 16 weeks. One session was held during class hours, with the remaining two sessions scheduled during free time in the university gym. Aerobic exercises included the use of treadmills and elliptical machines, with intensity maintained at 60%-70% of the maximum heart rate (calculated as 220 minus age), for a total of 40 minutes per session (5 minutes of warm-up, 30 minutes of main exercise, and 5 minutes of cool-down). Heart rate monitors were used to ensure the intensity was maintained; resistance exercises involved gym equipment and bodyweight exercises, including the use of a pec deck machine, lat pull-downs, chest presses, bicep curls, tricep extensions, leg curls, and leg presses. The intensity of resistance exercises was set at about 65%-70% of one repetition maximum (1RM), with each session consisting of three sets of 6-8 repetitions and lasting for 30 minutes.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- The exclusion criteria include individuals with diseases that may affect training (such as cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and musculoskeletal disorders), as well as those diagnosed with mental disorders (such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.).
Who the study is looking for
- Obese college students aged 18-22 were recruited from a university in Beijing to participate in a public elective course on exercise for weight loss and slimming at the Capital University of Physical Education and Sport (CUPES). The inclusion criteria included a BMI of ≥28 kg/m\^2, no history of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, no psychiatric conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder), and no physical disabilities or movement disorders (such as bone and joint diseases).
