Study Details

Brief summary:

The purpose of this study will be to determine if personalized moderate intensity exercise training combined with high intensity interval training is more effective at improving training responsiveness than moderate intensity exercise training alone? This question will be addressed holistically be creating a composite score to assess training responsiveness. Additionally, individualized biological variability will be calculated in order to quantify training responsiveness using a personalized criterion. It is hypothesized that personalized moderate intensity exercise training combined with high intensity interval training will be more effective at improving comprehensive training responsiveness when compared to moderate intensity exercise training alone?

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: Individualized moderate + high-intensity

  • 12 weeks of moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT)
  • 4 days per week of MICT for 50 minutes per session
  • 1 day per week of HIIT for 35 minutes per session
  • Exercise intensity for MICT will be established according to ventilatory thresholds one and two (VT1 and VT2)
  • The HIIT protocol will consist of eight, 60 second intervals at 100% maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), separated by 150 seconds active recovery

experimental: Standardized moderate-intensity

  • 12 weeks of MICT
  • 5 days per week of MICT for 50 minutes per session
  • Exercise intensity for MICT will be established according to 40-65% heart rate reserve (HRR)

no intervention: Control

non-exercise control group testing at baseline and post-program (12 weeks)

Interventions

Exercise

The MICT will be prescribed according to two exercise intensity methods: individualized (i.e., VT1 and VT2) and standardized (i.e., HRR). The HIIT will be prescribed based on individual fitness (i.e., VO2max).

Primary outcome measure

  • Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
