No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to examine the effects of Ramadan diurnal fasting alone and in combination with moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on cardiometabolic health in adults with overweight and obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does Ramadan diurnal fasting lead to changes in body composition and cardiometabolic health outcomes?
2. Does adding moderate-intensity aerobic exercise during Ramadan fasting result in greater improvements in cardiometabolic health compared with fasting alone?

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Ramadan diurnal fasting only or Ramadan diurnal fasting combined with a supervised moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program. Cardiometabolic, metabolic, and behavioral outcomes will be assessed before Ramadan and during the last week of Ramadan.

Conditions

  • Ramadan Fasting
  • Obesity & Overweight
  • Aerobic Exercise
  • Weight Loss

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Moderate-Intensity Aerobic Exercise

Participants observe Ramadan diurnal fasting, abstaining from food and caloric beverages from dawn to sunset, and engage in a supervised moderate-intensity aerobic exercise program performed approximately five days per week during Ramadan. Exercise sessions are conducted at a target intensity of moderate exertion and are completed while participants are fasting
