Brief Summary

FIT-AGING will determine the effect of different exercise modalities on α-Klotho protein (primary outcome) in sedentary healthy adults. FIT-AGING also investigate the physiological consequences of activating Klotho gene (secondary outcomes).

Study Arms (4)

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Non-Exercise group. We will provide general advices to control group participants thought an information meeting performed by a graduate in Sport Sciences. It will recommended to follow the physical activity recommendations for adults provided by World Health Organization

PAR group

EXPERIMENTAL

The volume in PAR is based on the minimum physical activity recommended (150min/week at moderate intensity). Intensity selected for PAR aerobic training is 60-65% HRres. Strength intensity selected was 40-50% of 1 RM. Frequency. PAR group will train 3 days/week, the minimum frequency recommended. Exercises programmed for the aerobic exercise are treadmill, cycle-ergometer and elliptical ergometer in aerobic training part and weight bearing and guided pneumatic machines (involved major upper and lower body muscle group) in resistance training. Training load variation. We propose a gradual progression to control the exercise dose Training periodization divided in two phases of 5 weeks each one, starting with a familiarization phase (2 weeks). Training sessions. Sessions start with a dynamic standardized warm up, which include several muscle activation exercises. Aerobic sessions include compensatory exercises. Training session will be ended with a cooling-down protocol

Other: PAR

HIIT group.

EXPERIMENTAL

The volume in HIIT 40-65 min/week at high intensity. Intensity. Two different protocols: HIIT with long intervals (Type A session), which intensity will be \>95% VO2max and HIIT with short intervals (Type B session), \>120% VO2max. Training frequency two times/week. Type of exercise. Type A session are walking in treadmill with personalized slopes. Eight weight-bearing exercises in circuit form, type B session. Training load variation. Gradual progression to control the exercise dose. Training periodization divided in: familiarization phase, phase I, phase II. Training sessions. Type A: 5 minutes in treadmill at 60% VO2max. After warm-up, participants complete sets corresponding to each training session following the corresponding characteristics. Type B: eight weight-bearing exercises (in circuit form) two times/set with an active rest (walking at 60%VO2max) as many times at as defined. Training session will be ended with a cooling-down protocol

Other: HIIT

WB-EMS group.

EXPERIMENTAL

WB-EMS training program will be the same than HIIT intervention related to volume, intensity, frequency, type of exercise, training load variation, training periodization and training session. However, electrical impulse will be included in order to assess if WB-EMS training will produce an added effect compared to HIIT. Electrical parameters: We will apply a frequency of 15-33 Hz in type A session. And, we will apply a frequency of 35-75 Hz in type B session. Intensity will be 80-100 mA. Impulse Width adjusted in relation to body segment: thigh zone (400μsec), glute zone (350μsec), abdominal zone (300μsec), dorsal zone (250μsec), cervical (200μsec), chest zone (200μsec) and arm zone (200μsec). Duty cycle. We have programmed a duty cycle of 50-67% in type B session, but duty cycle in type A session will be 99%. RPE impulse: the impulse intensity was individually adapted to generate similar values of rate of perceived exertion (RPE) in Borg CR-10 Scale "5" of "9"
