Exercise and breathing tests in obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how your body shape, measured by the body roundness index, affects your breathing and exercise ability. It may help doctors understand how obesity impacts daily activities and fitness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 60 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher, which is considered obese.

This study looks at how obesity affects breathing and physical function. It tests whether a special exercise program can improve lung and muscle strength in people with obesity who have a restrictive breathing pattern.
This study compares how body weight (higher or lower body fat) affects lung function, breathing during exercise, and exercise capacity in adults ages 65–75. You may be asked to do lung and exercise testing, but only if you meet health and activity restrictions.
This trial tests whether a daily breathing exercise device can improve blood flow to the brain and immune function in people with obesity. It may help reduce health risks linked to excess weight.
This trial uses a special breathing test to measure how your airways react. It helps doctors understand airway tone and reactivity, which may relate to conditions like asthma.
This study looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
This study tests whether a breathing exercise device can strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may help reduce low back pain in people with obesity. It aims to see if this training improves pain and function compared to usual care.
