HIIT@Home Trial Summary

This trial is studying how high intensity exercise can help older people stay physically active and healthy as they age.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older veterans, both male and female of any race, who are at least 60 years old. Participants should be non-frail or pre-frail with a frailty score less than 3 and must be medically cleared to exercise. Those with severe COPD, advanced kidney disease, extreme high blood pressure, or significant cognitive impairment cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effects of different types of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on reducing frailty and enhancing resilience in older adults. It compares center-based HIIT, home-based HIIT against a control group receiving standard attention without intensive training.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this type of physical intervention, general risks may include muscle soreness, fatigue after workouts, increased risk of falls during exercise sessions and potential exacerbation of underlying health conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does my medical history make me a suitable candidate for this trial?

"This research is targeting 200 elderly individuals aged between 60 to 85 and who are classified as either non-frail or pre-frail (with a frailty score lower than 3). Other recruitment requirements include being of any gender, race, and having medical clearance for exercise."

Answered by AI

Are there any opportunities for participation in this experiment?

"According to clinicaltrials.gov, this particular medical trial is not currently enrolling participants; the initial post was published on February 1st 2023 and it had its last update on November 14th 2022. However, there are 146 other studies that need patients right now."

Answered by AI

What goals are scientists hoping to accomplish with this experiment?

"The primary endpoint of this trial, measured over a 12-week period from baseline, will be levels of Interleukin 6. Secondary outcomes involve observation of the Amyloid beta 42/40 ratio, Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), and Cognitive screen - SLUMS; these are assessed respectively through serum cognitive markers, picograms per milliliter readings for BDNF changes from pre- to posttreatment phases, and the VA – St Louis University Mental Survey which involves memory testing & shape recognition alongside Cognivue's visual reaction time test."

Answered by AI

Does this clinical research extend to geriatric individuals?

"This medical research is seeking out individuals aged between sixty and eighty-five for enrollment."
