Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators will be able to estimate the metabolic cost of several foundational medicine ball training exercises.

Conditions

Body Composition; Physical Fitness; Energy Expenditure; Resting Metabolic Rate

Keywords

functional fitness training; Medicine ball Training; Energy Expenditure; Oxygen Consumption; Resistance Trianing

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Change in exercise-induced energy expenditure

  Exercise energy expenditure (kcal) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system

  At pre-exercise, during, and 30 minutes after the exercise session (a single bout lasting 30 seconds)

• Change in excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC)

  EPOC (kcal) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system

  At 1 hour after exercise session (single bout lasting 30 seconds)

• Change in blood lactate concentration (BLa)

  BLa (mmol/L) concentration will be measured in a microphotometer with commercially available kits.

  At pre-exercise and 3 minutes after exercise session (a single bout lasting 30 seconds)

• Change in heart rate

  Heart rate (bpm) will be measured with a wearable heart rate monitor

  At pre-exercise, during, and 30 minutes after ther exercise session (a single bout lasting 30 seconds)

• Change in perceived exertion

  Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) will be measured with the Borg scale (0-10)

  At pre-exercise, during, and 30 minutes after the exercise session (a single bout lasting 30 seconds)

Secondary Outcomes (14)

• Body weight

• Body mass index (BMI)

Study Arms (2)

Training

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will perform seven medicine ball training exercises (acute bout per exercise) at two different conditions \[Throwing a ball (TB) and no Throwing a ball (NTB)\].

Behavioral: MB-TB; Behavioral: MB-NTB

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in this arm will receive no intervention.

Interventions

MB-TB BEHAVIORAL

Training exercises with throwing a medicine ball will be performed for 30 seconds and the training volume will be consisted of 1 repetition.

Training

MB-NTB BEHAVIORAL

Training exercises without throwing a medicine ball will be performed for 30 seconds and the training volume will be consisted of 1 repetition.
