Brief Summary

This study examines whether high intensity interval training (HIIT) or moderate, continuous endurance exercise training (MCEET) results in greater program adherence when matched for session time. Body composition and endurance capacity will also be measured to identify any significant changes among two exercise groups. It is hypothesized that HIIT will result in greater program adherence as well as greater improvements in body composition and endurance capacity. Both exercise groups will complete 20 minutes sessions (which include exercise) three times per week for five week. The first week will be supervised by study investigators while the remainder of the study will be unsupervised in order to examine how free-living individuals adhere to two exercise programs. There will be no attempt to restrict food intake during the exercise intervention. Body composition will be measured by densitometry \[body mass/body volume\] using a BodPod. Endurance capacity will be assessed using a mile run. Two validated questionnaires \[Physical activity enjoyment scale and Exercise adherence ratings scale\] as well as heart rate data (recorded before, during and after each training sessions) will be used to confirm exercise adherence. These data may help us determine the optimal type of exercise program to maintain healthy body composition.

Study Arms (2)

High Intensity Interval Training

EXPERIMENTAL

six 20 second bouts of high intensity interval exercise (HIIT) separated by 2 minutes of active recovery with 3 minutes and warm up and cool down on the treadmill, three times per week for five weeks

Behavioral: HIIT

MCEET

EXPERIMENTAL

14 minutes of Moderate Endurance Training with 3 minutes and warm up and cool down on the treadmill, three times per week for five weeks

Behavioral: MCEET

Interventions

HIIT BEHAVIORAL

The participant will perform HIIT where they will warm up for 3 minutes at 30% maximum heart rate (MHR), followed by 20 seconds of high intensity interval exercise at an all out intensity separated by 2 minutes of active recovery at 30% MHR. The interval will be repeated six times. Once completing all six intervals, participants will cool down for 3 minutes. This training program will be performed three times per week for five weeks.

High Intensity Interval Training

MCEET BEHAVIORAL

The participant will perform MCEET, where they will warm up for 3 minutes at 30% maximum heart rate (MHR), followed by 14 minutes of moderate, continuous endurance exercise at 70% MHR. Participants will cool down for 3 minutes. This training program will be performed three times per week for five weeks.

Model Details: Each participant will be match-paired to either HIIT or MCEET group based on their time to complete a mile run. There will be rank from 1 to 40, where number one will be assigned randomly to one group while two goes to the other group. Then, number three goes to the second group and fourth is assigned to the first group. Alternating patterns will be continued thereafter.
