Brief Summary

This study aims at investigating the metabolic cost of several fundamental exercises with sandbag. Sandbag training has become a popular training modality that is efficiently used to improve cardiovascular status and physical performance. Despite its widespread use and popularity the metabolic cost of exercises using sandbag remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the metabolic cost of various fundamental exercise with sandbag will be determined to aid the planning of exercise training programs.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Change in exercise energy expenditure

    Total energy expenditure (kcals) during the exercise will be assessed by summing the kcals of the oxidative system, the glycolytic system and the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption.

    At pre-exercise, during and up to 15 minutes after the exercise (a single set lasting 30 or 45 seconds)

  • Change in aerobic energy expenditure

    The contribution of oxidative system in exercise energy expenditure will be assessed by the change in oxygen consumption during the exercise using a portable gas analyzer

    At pre-exercise and during the exercise (a single set lasting 30 or 45 seconds)

  • Change in anaerobic energy expenditure

    The glycolytic contribution to exercise energy expenditure will be assessed by the change in blood lactate concentration after the exercise

    At pre-exercise and post-exercise (a single set lasting 30 or 45 seconds)

  • Change in recovery energy expenditure

    The contribution of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption in exercise energy expenditure will be assessed by the change in oxygen consumption after the exercise using a portable gas analyzer

    At pre-exercise and up to 15 minutes after the exercise (a single set lasting 30 or 45 seconds)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Change in blood lactate concentration

    At pre-exercise and 4 minutes after the exercise session

  • Change in heart rate

    At pre-exercise, during and up to 15 minutes after the exercise session.

  • Change in rate of perceived exertion

    At pre-exercise and post-exercise session.

  • Change in respiratory exchange ratio

    At pre-exercise, during and up to 15 minutes after the exercise session.
