In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Physical Activity Intervention for Obesity and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 77 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The present study is a 100-participant randomized controlled 2-arm parallel trial that employs a metagenomic approach to examine how 8 weeks of supervised moderate-intensity treadmill walking exercise (MWE) for 30-45 min 3 times/week alters the gut microbiome, serum short chain fatty acids, and the cardiometabolic profile, body weight, and body composition of individuals 30-64 years old who have overweight or obesity and have prediabetes.
