Effects of Exercise Training on Brain Activity and Its Relation to Weight Maintenance and Appetite Regulation
Joslin Diabetes Center
Summary
This study aims to explore how HIIT influences brain function, neural and molecular pathways related to weight control, setting the stage for future obesity intervention research.
Description
This study will include adults aged 18-70 years with a BMI \>19 kg/m², both with and without prior bariatric surgery. Those with bariatric surgery must have experienced clinically significant weight regain (\>10% of maximum weight lost) within 1 to 5 years post-surgery. Participants will complete three initial clinical visits before beginning a 12-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program, followed by three post-training clinical visits. During visit 1, participants will undergo anthropometric assessments, baseline blood draw, oral glucose tolerance test, psychometric evaluations,…

Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-70 years * Body mass index (BMI) \>19 kg/m2 and body weight\< 250kg * Participants must have experienced a clinically significant weight regain, defined as over 10% of their maximum weight lost, within 1 to 5 years following their bariatric surgery. They will be asked to self-report their weight loss history. Participants must also provide the operative report from their bariatric surgery for reference. * In good general health with no conditions that could influence the outcome of the trial, and in the judgment of the investigator is a good candidate for the stud…
