Brief Summary

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

This study aims at investigating the metabolic cost of several fundamental exercises with Kettlebell. Kettlebell 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 kettlebell remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the metabolic cost of various fundamental exercise with kettlebell will be determined to aid the planning of exercise training programs.

Detailed Description

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

Ten healthy young adults will be assigned to this study. Participants will initially undergo a baseline assessment of their anthropometrics, body composition (by DXA), resting metabolic rate (RMR), cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), muscular strength \[maximal strength (1RM) and muscular endurance\] and functional capacity. After baseline screening, participants will execute in different days (one exercise per day) one set of each of the following 7 exercises: (1) plank with kettlebell pass, (2) swings, (3) overhead squat-thrusters, (4) lunges with motion hands, (5) single leg deadlift, (6) wood chop και (7) snatch, in two different conditions: (i) 30 sec and (ii) 45 sec exercise duration, in a random order. Prior to each exercise resting heart rate, blood lactate concentration, oxygen consumption and rate of perceived exertion will be recorded. Heart rate and oxygen consumption (through portable gas analyzer) will be continuously monitored during the exercise and after the end of it, until the oxygen consumption reach the pre-exercise values (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption). Blood lactate and rate of perceived exertion will be reassessed post-exercise.
