Effect of Exercise With Low Intensity and Longer Duration Versus High Intensity Interval Training

NCT01443507 | Completed Phase 2

• 1 other identifier: 2010/2959
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 22
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare exercise at 70% of maximal heart rate were total energy expenditure is twice compared to interval training at 90- 95% of maximal heart rate. Since 70% of maximal heart rate is well above the minimum threshold for improvements in maximal oxygen uptake it should be suited to investigate the effect of duration.

Conditions

Healthy Subjects

Keywords

aerobic capacity; maximal oxygen uptake; aerobic endurance; work economy; lactate threshold; endurance training; exercise intensity

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• changes in maximal oxygen uptake

  Maximal oxygen uptake will be measured at day 1 before training, then we will measure changes in maximal oxygen uptake after 8 weeks, and finally a follow up measurement of changes in maximal oxygen uptake after 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• endurance performance

  one year

• health effects

  one year

Study Arms (2)

high intensity long interval

EXPERIMENTAL

A group training four by four minutes interval at 90-95% of maximal heart rate dispersed by three minutes active pauses at 70% of maximal heart rate.

Other: endurance exercise of different duration and intensity

long duration at moderate training

EXPERIMENTAL

a continuous training group exercising at 70% of maximal heart rate for 90 minutes.

Other: endurance exercise of different duration and intensity

Interventions

endurance exercise of different duration and intensity OTHER

Two interventions are compared with aerobic capacity as the main outcome. one group exercise at 70% of maximal heart rate for 90 minutes 3 times per week. group two exercise performe10 minutes warm up at 70% of maximal heart rate 4 x 4 minutes intervals at 90-95% of maximal heart rate with 3 minutes active pause at 70% of maximal heart rate in between, and finally 5 minutes cooling down at 70 % of maximal heart rate.

high intensity long interval; long duration at moderate training
