Respiratory and Exercise Responses by Body Roundness Index in Obesity
Evaluation of Respiratory Performance and Exercise Responses According to Body Roundness Index in Individuals With Obesity
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This observational study aims to evaluate respiratory performance and exercise responses according to Body Roundness Index (BRI) in individuals with obesity. Participants will undergo anthropometric and body composition assessments, respiratory muscle strength testing, pulmonary function evaluation, and a six-minute walk test. Exercise-related ventilatory responses, dyspnea, fatigue perception, oxygen saturation, and heart rate responses will also be assessed. The study seeks to investigate the relationship between BRI and cardiopulmonary performance and to determine whether BRI may serve as a useful indicator of obesity-related functional limitations and exercise capacity.
