The progressive power program: An exercise intervention to improve health outcomes in adults with overweight and obesity.
Article in MethodsX, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The present study outlines the progressive power program (PPP), a structured exercise protocol developed for adults with overweight and obesity. The PPP integrates high-intensity interval training (HIIT), high-intensity functional training (HIFT), and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) within a progressive 12-week framework. Participants complete three 50-minute sessions per week, delivered either face-to-face or remotely, using bodyweight exercises and self-regulated pacing guided by heart rate monitoring and perceived exertion. The protocol is described in sufficient detail to ensure reproducibility and adaptability across diverse clinical, community, and online settings. Emphasising accessibility, safety, and participant autonomy, the PPP aims to reduce barriers related to equipment, supervision, and location. Standardised procedures for anthropometric, functional, and behavioural assessments reinforce methodological rigour. By combining evidence-based exercise modalities with scalable delivery strategies, the PPP offers a resource-efficient and adaptable approach to promoting physical activity and supporting weight management. Its methodological design aligns with public health priorities by addressing physical inactivity, reducing sedentary behaviour, and improving health outcomes in at-risk populations.•Designed a progressive 12-week exercise protocol incorporating HIIT, HIFT, and MICT modalities.•Assessed feasibility and reach by comparing face-to-face and remote delivery formats.•Evaluated physical, functional, and behavioural outcomes before and after the intervention.
