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.

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will complete, in random order, three intervention periods and one control period. Each period will be separated by six days and will be conducted on two consecutive days; 7.5 hours from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm on the first day, and 6 hours from 7:30 am to 1:30 pm on the second day.
The three interventions periods are as follows:
1. Physical activity: participants will walk on the treadmill at 60 % of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) for 30 min at the end of day one of the trial, at all other times they will be seated
2. Regular Activity Breaks: participants will walk on the treadmill at the same speed and incline as the physical activity intervention, for 2 min every 30 min throughout both day one and day two the trial
3. Regular activity breaks and physical activity: participants will walk on the treadmill for 2 min every 30 min throughout day one and two. In addition they will also complete 30 min of continuous walking at the end of day one. All walking on the treadmill will be at the same speed and incline as the physical activity intervention
The control period is:
Prolonged Sitting: participants will remain seated for the duration

On day one of each trial participants will be fed standardised meals at 15 and 205 min, and be provided with a standardised meal to consume at home during the evening between day one and two. On day two of each trial participants will be fed a standardised test meal providing 0.7 g fat per kg body mass at 0 min. At 305 min participants will be provided a buffet lunch.
Intervention code [1] 289510 0
Lifestyle
Comparator / control treatment
No Physical Activity. The Prolonged sitting intervention is the control condition. Participants will remain seated for the duration of the trial. Feeding will occur as in the other three trials.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 292281 0
Postprandial triglyceride response will be assessed by collecting blood samples at the time points listed below, and using them to calculate incremental area under the curve. Concentrations of triglycerides will be measured in each of these samples using enzymatic calorimetric methods.

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)
Participants will initially attend a screening visit at which blood pressure and fasting lipid and glucose concentrations will be measured. If blood pressure, glucose and lipids are within the acceptable range participants will complete an aerobic capacity test (VO2max). Participants will then complete the four trial conditions in a predetermined randomized order. The randomization code will be sealed in opaque envelopes. An envelope will be opened prior to each participant's first session, and the code contained within will dictate the order the interventions will be completed by that participant
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
STATA software will be used to generate the randomization sequence for the order the interventions will be performed for each participant.
