12 Weeks of Resistance Band Exercise Impacts on Metabolic Syndrome Progression in Postmenopausal Women
NCT04014686 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study was to examine the impacts of a 12-week resistance band exercise program on insulin resistance, blood lipid profiles, body composition, and blood pressure in postmenopausal women with obesity. Thirty-six postmenopausal women participated in this study. Participants were randomly allocated into the resistance band training group (EX, n = 18) or the control group (CON, n = 18). The EX group performed a resistance band exercise training program 60 minutes per day, 3 times per week, for 12 weeks. The CON group did not participate in any exercise, dietary, or behavioral intervention. Blood glucose, insulin, homeostatic model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), blood lipids, blood pressure, and body composition were measured before and after 12 weeks of EX or CON.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04014686
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04014686 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 36 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Pusan National University, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Hypertension appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which No exercise intervention group is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT04014686 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Nebraska. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
