Functional Fitness for Overweight or Obese Adults with Mobility Disabilities
NCT05880966 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Over 64 million people in the U.S. have a permanent disability, with mobility-related disability (MRD) representing the most prevalent disability type (13.7%). Adults with MRD are 66% more likely to be overweight or obese than their non-disabled peers. Exercise in adults with MRD is important for weight management and is associated with improvements in obesity-related health conditions including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, insulin processing/sensitivity, etc. However, over half (57%) of adults with MRD do not exercise, while 22% engage in exercise of insufficient duration or intensity to obtain health benefits. Adults with MRD face numerous barriers to participation in community-based exercise, and exercise is frequently limited to short-term referrals for outpatient physical and/or occupational therapy. High-intensity functional training (HIFT) represents a potentially effective strategy for community-based exercise to support body weight and obesity-related health conditions, in addition to improving physical function and aspects of psychosocial health for people with disabilities. Preliminary evidence supports the effectiveness of HIFT to improve body composition, cardiovascular and muscular fitness, insulin processing and insulin sensitivity in non-disabled adults who are overweight/obese. To date, no study has systematically evaluated the feasibility or effectiveness of a community-based HIFT intervention for improving obesity-related health outcomes in overweight/obese adults with MRD. Thus, the proposed study will implement a 6-mo. pilot trial to evaluate the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a HIFT intervention (60 min sessions/3 days/wk.) in 25 adults with MRD and overweight/obesity. This study will address the following aims: Aim 1: Evaluate the intervention feasibility based on participant recruitment, session attendance, retention, outcome assessment completion, and the results of semi-structured exit interviews to obtain information regardi

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05880966
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05880966 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. 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 25 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Kansas, which has 23 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Overweight or Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Functional Fitness 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: NCT05880966 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Kansas. 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.
