Muscular Strength and Aerobic Capacity, a Symbiotic Relationship With Birth Weight and Metabolic Risk of Colombian Scholchildren: Study SIMAC
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Muscular Resistance training, Cardiorespiratory training, and 1 other intervention for Resistance Training and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 150 participants.
Detailed Summary
Background Risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases have their onset in infancy. Comorbidities such as overweight, abdominal obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance and elevated triglycerides have been observed in childhood with a tendency to persist into adult life. Furthermore, this situation has generated an increase in morbidity and mortality rates due to chronic non-communicable diseases. One approach to decrease the impact of cardiometabolic diseases is the intervention with exercise training (strength and aerobic capacity), where an important role of protein intake plays a role in influencing the performance of strength training, due to the greater utilization of low-energy protein compared to aerobic exercise. In children, a better tolerance was reported in muscle strength exercises, with at least one supervised training session per week with moderate intensity (20 minutes of physical activity). Currently, there is no consensus on the minimum time required to intervene and achieve significant changes in the metabolic profile of adolescents and children. Objective To evaluate the relationship between weight at birth and adaptations to aerobic exercise and muscular strength, and its effects on metabolic risk, body composition and physical capacity. Methodology An experimental study with individual analysis per participant would be perform. The sample will include a 12 to 17-year-old adolescent population. It will consist of two phases. The intervention will be based on moderate strength, power and resistance training programs, and/or moderate aerobic capacity exercise in circuit steps. The workouts will be done two times a week, approximately 30 to 40 minutes including warm-up, stretching and cooling. All participants personal and family history data would be collected and blood samples would be taken. Potential results Within the expected results, the protocol wants to implement a new methodology of physical capacity training. Furthermore, the protocol will evaluate if related cardiometabolic risk factors with the intervention would improve in target patients at risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases to identify them and prevent the occurrence of these pathologies in adult life.
