Exercise and fat loss in young women with overweight or obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise (short bursts of intense activity vs. moderate continuous activity) to see which is better for fat loss in young women who have overweight or obesity. The exercises have the same total energy used, so the results can show which type might be more helpful for weight management.

This trial tests a specific interval training method to see how long athletes can stay at their maximum oxygen use. It may help track athletes improve their performance.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve health in sedentary young adults with obesity. If you are between 20 and 35, have a BMI of 30 to 35, and do little to no exercise, this trial may be a good fit.
This study compares two different exercise programs to see which one helps young women with obesity lose weight more effectively. If you are a woman aged 18–45 with a BMI between 30 and 40 and you are not on certain medications, this trial may be a good fit for you.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve heart health and fitness in young adults with obesity. You would participate in a supervised exercise program to see if it helps lower your risk of future health problems.
This study compares two types of exercise programs (HICT and MICT) to see which is better for health in overweight young adults who don't currently exercise. You would join a 12-week program and help researchers learn which workout plan works best.
This study tests whether intense, short bursts of exercise can improve fitness in adults who are overweight. You'll do whole-body workouts designed to boost cardiovascular health and physical performance.
