Study aim
-
Determining the interactive effect of continuous training and supplementation of rice bran on selected physical fitness factors, some oxidative stress, and hemodynamic indicators of overweight policemen
-
Design
-
A randomized, one-blinded, controlled, semi-experimental with a parallel-group design of 80 overweight males. A lottery will be used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
This research is an applied quasi-experimental study and includes pre-test and post-test with 4 experimental groups in which the effect of independent variables of continuous training and supplementation of rice bran and a combination of the two on selected variables of physical fitness, some pressure indicators Oxidation, some hemodynamic parameters, lipid profile, fasting blood sugar and some inflammatory cytokines and hs-CRP in overweight 20- to 40-year-old police men will be assessed. It will be done in a specialized laboratory. Collaborative researchers will be blind to pre-test and post-test evaluations and the statistical expert will be blind to how individuals are assigned to the groups.
