Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial was to compare to different types of high-intensity interval training in young, healthy females. The main questions were: Will changes in body composition differ between the two interventions? Will changes in endurance and muscle performance differ between the two interventions? Participants were randomized to 8 weeks of high-intensity interval training involving body weight, plyometric exercises or cycling only. Researchers compared changes in endurance performance, body composition, and muscle performance to determine if there were differences between groups.

Conditions

Healthy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Muscle composition at baseline

  echo-intensity value derived from ultrasound that indicates the amount of fat infiltration in muscle

  Pre-intervention

• Muscle composition after 8-week intervention

  echo-intensity value derived from ultrasound that indicates the amount of fat infiltration in muscle

  At week 9

Secondary Outcomes (20)

• Fat mass at baseline

  Pre-intervention

• Fat mass after 8-week intervention

  At week 9

• Group average growth hormone response (concentration at microLiters/Liters) at baseline

  Pre-intervention

• Group average growth hormone response (concentration at microLiters/Liters) after 8-week intervention

  At week 9

• Countermovement jump height at baseline

  Pre-intervention

Other Outcomes (8)

• Weekly exercising heart rate

  during 8-week exercise intervention

• Weekly exercising perceived effort

  during 8-week exercise intervention

• Calorie consumption at baseline

Study Arms (2)

Plyometric High-Intensity Interval Training

EXPERIMENTAL

This group performed high-intensity interval training consisting of body-weight, plyometric exercises involving jumping.

Behavioral: High-Intensity Interval Training

Cycling High-Intensity Interval Training

EXPERIMENTAL

This group performed high-intensity interval training consisting of cycling exercise.

Behavioral: High-Intensity Interval Training

Interventions

High-Intensity Interval Training BEHAVIORAL

The training intervention is a popular exercise format that consist of alternating brief bouts of high-intensity efforts with bouts of light effort or complete rest.

Cycling High-Intensity Interval Training; Plyometric High-Intensity Interval Training
