NCT06246760

Brief Summary

The goal of this cross-over study is to evaluate the physiological response to exercise and body composition according to training status in participants with a wide spectrum of fitness states. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Which are the physiological differences across participants with different training status?
  • Which are the body composition differences across participants with different training status?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Training status

    Oxygen uptake at ventilatory threshold 1, ventilatory threshold 2 and maximal oxygen uptake

    breath-by-breath during the whole test

  • Body composition

    Fat mass (kg), fat free mass (kg), fat mass percentage, fat-free mass (FFM) percentage, weight (kg), and height (m). These variables are assesed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

    one determination before the test

  • Bone mineral density

    Total, lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density (g/cm\^2). These variables are assesed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

    one determination before the test

Study Arms (1)

Incremental exercise test

EXPERIMENTAL

Maximal incremental exercise test on a treadmill or a cycle ergometer until volitional exhaustion

Other: Exercise

Interventions

Incremental exercise test until volitional exhaustion

Incremental exercise test
