Fasted vs. Fed State Exercise
NCT07487090 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Although many medications exist for both heart disease and obesity, cost, lack of access for all people, side effects and the desire for a more natural solution have left many people seeking lifestyle treatments such as exercise. Scientists know that exercise is highly beneficial for heart health. When exercise also produces weight loss, these benefits are much improved. Although using exercise to treat or prevent heart disease / obesity is recommended, not all people respond well. Some see significant weight loss and health improvements while others see little changes. For these reasons, new strategies surrounding the use and design of an exercise program are needed. One such strategy could be performing aerobic exercise before breakfast (fasted exercise). When exercising fasted, food/energy stores are low, and one relies on stored body fat for energy. This may help heart health and weight loss. This has never been tested in a program long enough to see such changes. This study will, for the first time, assess the effects of a 16-week aerobic exercise program performed fasted compared to after eating. Outcomes will include blood fats, blood pressure, fat-burning abilities and weight loss. Starting an exercise program can also make people to eat more. This limits the success of exercise. The study will also evaluate ways fasted exercise could change eating, as it possible that fasted exercise could also cause people to eat more, which would limit weight loss and health improvements.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07487090
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07487090 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 2, 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 40 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Arkansas Colleges of Health Education, which has 2 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 Obesity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which 16 week exercise intervention 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: NCT07487090 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Arkansas. 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.
