• 1 other identifier: HI Intervention
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: N/A
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a High Intensity exercise intervention can elicit cardiovascular disease protection in adolescents.

Conditions

To Assess the Impact of the HIT Intervention on Physiological Responses; To Assess the Role of a Secondary High School as a Setting for Promoting Healthy Eating and PA Behaviours; To Determine the Associations Between CVD Risk Factors at Baseline in 15 - 18 Year Old Youth

Keywords

Public Health; Biochemistry; Ecological

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• To improve blood lipid profiles and lower levels of plasma inflammatory markers.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• To determine the associations between CVD risk factors at baseline in 15 - 18 year old youth.

Study Arms (1)

High Intensity Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Behavioral: High Intensity Exercise

Interventions

High Intensity Exercise BEHAVIORAL

In this study, participants will be instructed to sprint maximally for a period of 30 seconds. Following 30s rest, the participants will be instructed to repeat this procedure a further 3 times. This equates to 2 minutes of maximal effort sprinting interspersed with 2 minutes recovery. Participants will be requested to perform this protocol 3 times weekly. Training progression will be implemented by increasing the number of repeats from four repetitions during weeks 1 and 2, to five repetitions during weeks 3 and 4, to six repetitions during weeks 5 and 6. Finally, during week 7 participants will still perform six repetitions but interspersed by only 20 s recovery.
