Summary

This trial will examine how exercise training affects glucose uptake into fat tissue in obese people, and if there are sex differences. #exercise #obesity #glucose #insulin #insulinresistance

Who is the study for?
This trial is for non-smoking, sedentary men and women who are obese (BMI >30 kg/m2) and have been weight stable in the past 6 months. They should not be on medications affecting metabolism or have cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, orthopedic limitations, recent hormonal birth control changes, or pregnancy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study investigates how a 4-week exercise program affects fat tissue's ability to take up glucose in obese individuals. It aims to understand if regular physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic health by focusing on changes in adipose tissue.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves exercise training, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, joint pain or discomfort during the initial period of increased physical activity.
