NCT03308500

Brief Summary

This study will assess the effectiveness of a high-intensity intermittent games intervention (HIIG) on cardiorespiratory fitness and corporal composition. Fifty-four children, aged 9-12 years, will be randomised into an HIIG or moderate-intensity games (MIG) group. Before and after the intervention, participants complete cardiorespiratory fitness and corporal composition test. The hypothesis states that there is an improvement in the cardiorespiratory fitness and in the body composition implementing high-intensity intermittent games.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in cardiorespiratory fitness; 20 meters shuttle run test

    Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) metric: ml·kg-1·min-1

    Pre - post intervention and follow up. Time which each participant is assessed; 40 minutes

Study Arms (2)

High-intensity intermittent games HIIG

EXPERIMENTAL

High-intensity intermittent games (HIIG): complete a supervised 12-weeks. Twice per week child-specific games program, intensity HRmax 75% ≤ - RPE 6-8.

Behavioral: High-intensity intermittent games

Moderate-intensity games (MIG)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Moderate intensity games (MIG): complete a supervised 12-weeks. Twice per week child-specific games program, intensity HRmax 60-74% ≤ - RPE 4-5.

Behavioral: Moderate intensity games

Interventions

High-intensity intermittent gamesBEHAVIORAL

The intervention will last for 12-weeks, each group included participation in twice-week 40 minutes exercise sessions. In HIIG children took part in 5 games per session; 2 velocity games and 3 small-sided games (such 3 vs 3 and 4 vs 4). This session included 4 minutes games and 2 minutes recovery. In MIG children took part in 5 games per session. This session included 4 minutes games and 3 minutes recovery.
