Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Study design
Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
the subject is screened using the ESSA adult pre-exercise questionnaire. If fitting within criteria and gives consent then they will be randomly allocated (via stratification) to either the intervention or control group.
allocation will be done by a person not involved in screening or testing.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
stratified randomisation based on age, gender and BMI. Randomisation will be done in microsoft excel by a non-involved person in testing and data analysis.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?

Summary
Brief summary
We are looking at the effects of exercise compared to no exercise on the cardiovascular function in the peripheral (arm) and cerebral (head) arteries.
We expect to see a change in the peripheral and cerebral arteries from exercise.
