Official Title: Efficacy of Moderate Intensity Walking Provided Feedback by ECE PEDO on Abdominal Fat in Women With Overweight and Obesity

Brief Summary: Objective: To show the effectiveness of walking with ECE PEDO (Equipment for Clever Exercise) comparing supervised treadmill walking corresponding moderate aerobic exercise intensity on abdominal obesity and cardiorespiratory capacity.

Detailed Summary:

Objective: To show the effectiveness of walking with ECE PEDO (Equipment for Clever Exercise) comparing supervised treadmill walking corresponding moderate aerobic exercise intensity on abdominal obesity and cardiorespiratory capacity.

Methods: Twenty-eight women with overweight and obesity were assigned to two groups: supervised treadmill walking (Group I,n=14) or walking with ECE PEDO (Group II,n=14). Target heart rate(HR) corresponding to values of 50-70% VO2max were determined by the submaximal treadmill test. Group 1 was instructed walking at their target HR on a treadmill. The number of steps taken in a minute corresponding to target HR was determined by a criterion pedometer and group 2 was instructed walking in these step range recorded to ECE PEDO giving audible feedback. Before and after a 12-week exercise program, participants were evaluated by BMI and waist circumference(WC); ultrasonographic visceral fat thickness(VFT) and ergospirometric VO2max.


Sponsor: Pamukkale University

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Change from baseline in abdominal visceral fat thickness (VFT) at week 12. [ Time Frame: Week 12. ]
    Ultrasonographic (US) imaging was performed by the convex probe with 3.5 Megahertz (General Electric Logic E9). Abdominal VFT measurement was done with the placement of probe transversely at 1 cm above of the umbilicus while the participant was lying in the supine position.
  • Change from baseline in body mass index (BMI) at week 12. [ Time Frame: Week 12. ]
    Weight and height were measured with weight scale and stadiometer. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated for as weight (kg) divided by height squared (m2).
  • Change from baseline in waist circumference at week 12. [ Time Frame: Week 12. ]
    Waist circumference was measured at the midpoint of the distance between the lowest rib and iliac crest with the non-elastic tape.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
