Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

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

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Arm 1- high intensity interval training
Arm 2- moderate intensity continuous training
Arm 3- control group

Intervention: The study will consist of 3 groups- 2 exercise interventions and a control group. Supervised by an accredited Exercise Physiologist, the 2 exercise interventions of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate continuous training (MCT) will be completed over 12 weeks. The control group will undergo usual medical practitioner care. The exercise intervention groups will complete 3 supervised training sessions per week.

The two exercise interventions will be iso-caloric meaning that the MCT group will train for longer during each session. Exercise intensities will be monitored using heart rate monitors and the peak heart rate (PHR) that will be obtained during the exercise stress test.

Exercise Intensities:
HIIT: 1:00 minute intervals (90-95%), 1:00 minute active recovery (60-70% PHR)
MCT: ~40 minutes continuous exercise (60-70% PHR)

Exercise Modalities: The modality of the equipment utilized in the exercise intervention will differ each session between 3 pieces of equipment. These will include treadmill walking/running, rowing and cycle ergometer. The high intensity interval will involve walking up a hill or running on the treadmill (depending on the persons capabilities), or changing the resistance or speed on the rower and bike.

Comparator / control treatment
The control group will recieve standard treatment as provided currently by their General Practitioners and Specialists. The usual Nephrologist treatment consists of clinical care (treating kidney function, blood pressure, diabetes etc.), regular blood tests and urine analysis

Study design
Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Participants who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized into one of 3 groups: 1) high intensity interval training, 2) moderate continuous training or 3) control (1:1:1). Groups will be stratified for kidney function. Opaque sealed envelopes will be used to conceal the allocation.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
The randomistaion will be conducted by a statistician not associated with the trial using a computer program to generate the random sequence.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
