Lung and body function study for people with obesity
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
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 (obesity).
- You have a restrictive breathing pattern (your lungs don't expand fully).
- You are not a current smoker.
- You have no serious health conditions like heart failure or diabetes complications.
- No recent lower limb injury or surgery in the last 6 months.
- No weight-loss surgery or structured diet program in the last year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 study looks at how weight and blood-sugar/fat changes in the body may affect the airways in people with asthma. You may be asked to complete breathing tests and possibly an airway procedure (bronchoscopy) to help researchers compare groups.
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 study tests whether a weight reduction program can improve health outcomes for people who have both COPD and obesity. By helping with weight loss, the hope is to ease breathing symptoms and improve daily function.
This study tests whether a medication that helps with weight loss can also improve your breathing and lung function. It uses computer models to predict how your respiratory muscles respond, which may help you breathe easier as you lose weight.
