Exercise training to reduce heart fat in women
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special exercise training program to reduce fat around the heart (a risk factor for heart disease) in women with obesity and high cholesterol. It aims to improve heart health and lower the chance of developing coronary artery disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between the ages of 30 and 40.
- You have class 1 obesity (BMI between 30 and 34.9) with a waist circumference greater than 88 cm.

- You are medically stable and not currently experiencing acute illness or severe heart conditions.
- You do not have major joint/muscle problems, serious lung disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a history of blood clots in the legs (DVT).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of exercise training (high-intensity interval training vs. moderate-intensity continuous training) to see which is better for women with heart disease. You would be assigned randomly to one of the two exercise programs, and the study would last about 6 months.
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can improve heart health and a protein called sestrin-2 in women who have both high blood pressure and obesity. If you're eligible, you'll get structured exercise sessions and health monitoring.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can improve how your body uses fat. It is designed for postmenopausal women with higher weight and prediabetes who are not currently exercising much.
This study looks at how different amounts of resistance training (like lifting weights) affect heart health in people who are overweight and don't exercise much. It may help find the best exercise dose to improve cardiovascular health.
This research study looks at why people with chest pain but clear heart arteries have low fitness. It tests whether a home-based interval training program (short bursts of hard exercise) can improve fitness and quality of life.
This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can help older people (60–75) with stable coronary heart disease improve their heart health. You would work with healthcare professionals to get an exercise plan tailored to your condition.
