Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Secondary purposes are:
i) To compare the cardiovascular and blood lactate responses to self-paced walking (W), brisk walking (BW), recreational walking team handball (WTH), and recreational running team handball (RTH); ii) To compare the perceived experience (Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and Fun levels (FUN)) during self-paced walking (W), brisk walking (BW), recreational walking team handball (WTH), and recreational running team handball (RTH); iii) To compare the activity profile during self-paced walking (W), brisk walking (BW), recreational walking team handball (WTH), and recreational running team handball (RTH);

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Linear mixed-effects model accounting for repeated measures within the participants, will be used to compare the working demands and perceived experience during the selected exercise modalities. This model will consider the exercise modalities and group as fixed effects and the participants ID as a random effect.
Significance level will be set at 5%, and confidence intervals will be reported for all comparisons.
Randomization:
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups due to logistical constraints. Each group will then perform 2 randomly assigned sequences of 4 exercise modalities (i.e., W, BW, WH, RH).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Self-paced walking (W)
Each participant will walk at a self-chosen speed during the set exercise duration.
Self-paced Walking (W) training sessions
Participants will partake in 2 sessions of self-paced walking (W), each composed by 3x14 min periods interspersed by 2 min breaks, in which the participants will walk at a self-selected speed (without running) along a 38x18 m course.
Brisk walking (BW)
Participants will walk at a designated speed corresponding to brisk walking ( moderate-intensity walking) during the set exercise duration. The intensity of this type of walking should allow the participants to talk but not sing during the walk.
Brisk walking (BW) training sessions
Participants will partake in 2 sessions of brisk walking (BW), each composed by 3x14 min periods, interspersed by 2 min breaks, in which the participants will follow a designated instructor who will dictate the walking speed along a 38x18 m course, thus ensuring that the speed of the walking corresponds to a brisk walking speed.
Recreational running team handball (RTH)
Participants will play running recreational team handball (RTH) with the following adaptations to the official rules: use of softer and smaller balls and limited body contact, dribbling and substitutions are not allowed; players rotate positions every 3 min and matches are played as 5v5 or 6v6 game formats.
Recreational running team handball (RTH) training sessions
Recreational running team handball (RTH):
Participants will partake in 2 sessions of recreational team handball matches (RTH), each composed by 3x14 min periods, interspersed by 2 min breaks on a 40x20m indoor court.
Recreational walking team handball (WTH)
Same as recreational running team handball (RTH), however, the participants are only permitted to walk and not run (one foot must always be in contact with the ground).
Recreational walking team handball (WTH) training sessions
Recreational walking team handball (WTH):
Participants will partake in 2 sessions of recreational walking team handball matches (WTH), each composed by 3x14 min periods, interspersed by 2 min breaks on a 40x20m indoor court.
