Frequently Asked Questions

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

What specific goals has this clinical trial set out to achieve?

"This clinical trial will assess its primary objective, a change in total triglyceride content of all lipoprotein classes (TG) over baseline and 48hrs after 12 weeks of training. Secondary outcomes include changes from baseline to post-training body lean mass percentage (LM%) measured via dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) assessed through a graded exercise test on a power treadmill, as well as self-perceived fitness recorded with the International Fitness Scale at the conclusion of the 12 weeks."
