Summary

The prevalence of chronic inactivity related diseases including obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus has reached global epidemic proportions. Exercise training is a clinically proven primary intervention that delays and in many cases prevents health burdens. Therefore, many health authorities and local councils run exercise referral schemes for individuals with elevated disease disk. However, a number of barriers to successful completion of traditional exercise referral schemes exist.

This study aims to investigate the use of a home-based high intensity interval training programme as a potential exercise referral scheme activity to overcome many of the barriers to successful exercise referral scheme adherence and uptake.

200 people referred to the Active Sefton (Sefton Council) exercise referral scheme will be recruited and randomised to one of the two exercise groups (existing Active Sefton Scheme gym based training or home-based HIT). All participants will have access to the normal Active Sefton support mechanisms, but the training programme followed will be different. Before and after 12 weeks of training volunteers will participate in testing to assess changes in aerobic fitness, physical activity, vascular function, insulin sensitivity, body composition and psychological well-being. A 3 month follow up will also be completed to investigate the long term consequences on these variables.

Conditions

  • Risk Factor, Cardiovascular

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Home-based HIIT

Home-based HIIT uses body-weight equipment free exercises. Participants complete all exercise in their own own at a time of their choosing. This potentially removes many of the barriers preventing at risk-individuals from engaging with the current exercise referral scheme, such as cost, time or intimidating gym environment.

OTHER

Control

Usual exercise referral scheme procedure.
