Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Randomised cross-over study seeking to explore the acute physiological and perceptual responses to three novel forms of high-intensity interval training (HIT).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Randomised cross-over study seeking to explore the acute physiological (heart rate and blood pressure) and perceptual responses (rating of perceived exertion, mood and enjoyment) to three novel forms (non-contact boxing, stair stepping and stair climbing) of high-intensity interval training (HIT).

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

Using a randomised crossover trial design participants will be randomised computer assisted random sequence generation to sequences in which they are exposed to each experimental condition (exercise modality: stair stepping, stair climbing and non-contact boxing).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Boxing

In each of the three sessions a different exercise modality will be conducted, in a randomised sequence. Non-contact boxing involves boxing "punch pads" that will be held by the one of the researchers, while wearing protective boxing gloves. Each exercise modality will be conducted following a high-intensity interval protocol (4 x 60 seconds of exercise interspersed with 60 seconds of rest). During each exercise bout participants will be encouraged to exercise at an intensity that elicits a heart rate of ≥85% of maximum, which will always be followed by 60 seconds of passive recovery. Participants will complete a 5 minute warm-up and a 2 minute cool down and stretch after the exercise bouts have been completed.

as already discussed

Stair stepping

Participants will complete 3 sessions of exercise. In each of the three sessions a different exercise modality will be conducted in a randomised sequence. Stair stepping involves stepping on to and off a 35 cm Reebok exercise bench, repeatedly. Each exercise modality will be conducted following a high-intensity interval protocol (4 x 60 seconds of exercise interspersed with 60 seconds of rest). During each exercise bout participants will be encouraged to exercise at an intensity that elicits a heart rate of ≥85% of maximum, which will always be followed by 60 seconds of passive recovery. Participants will complete a 5 minute warm-up and a 2 minute cool down and stretch after the exercise bouts have been completed.

Stair climbing

In each of the three sessions a different exercise modality will be conducted, in a randomised sequence. Stair climbing involves continuously ascending the stairs located in a public access staircase. Each exercise modality will be conducted following a high-intensity interval protocol (4 x 60 seconds of exercise interspersed with 60 seconds of rest).

During each exercise bout participants will be encouraged to exercise at an intensity that elicits a heart rate of ≥85% of maximum, which will always be followed by 60 seconds of passive recovery. Participants will complete a 5 minute warm-up and a 2 minute cool down and stretch after the exercise bouts have been completed.
