Comparison of Different Exercise Protocols for Diagnosed With Lipedema
Sponsor: Hitit University
Summary
This study was designed to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training on functional capacity, muscle strength, and quality of life in patients with lipedema, and to determine the most effective exercise training protocol for this population.

Conditions
Interventions
High-Intensity Interval Aerobic Exercise Group
High-intensity interval lower-extremity aerobic exercise training will be performed on a cycle ergometer for a total duration of 35 minutes. The exercise protocol will consist of a 5-minute warm-up period at 50% of maximum heart rate, a 4 × 4-minute high-intensity training period at 80-95% of maximum heart rate, a 3 × 3-minute active recovery period at 70% of maximum heart rate, and a 5-minute cool-down period at 50% of maximum heart rate.
Moderate Intensity Continuous Group
Moderate-intensity continuous lower-extremity aerobic exercise training will be performed on a cycle ergometer for a total duration of 35 minutes. The exercise protocol will consist of a 5-minute warm-up period at 50% of maximum heart rate, a 25-minute moderate-intensity training period at 65-70% of maximum heart rate, and a 5-minute cool-down period at 50% of maximum heart rate.
