Brief Summary

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

this study will compare two warm-up methods before cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in recreationally active young adults. Participants will complete treadmill walking or TRX suspension warm-up, followed by a treadmill exercise test to exhaustion. The investigators to determine whether suspension warm-up produces similar peak oxygen uptake (VO2max) and cardiopulmonary responses as treadmill walking.

Detailed Description

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

CPET is the gold standard for assessing aerobic fitness. Warm-up procedures may influence outcomes. Traditional CPET warm-up uses walking or cycling, but suspension training provides a dynamic, full-body option. This randomized, counterbalanced crossover study will compare VO₂max and secondary outcomes (time to exhaustion, HRmax, RER, VE, BP, VT) after treadmill vs suspension training warm-up. The primary analysis is a non-inferiority test with a 5% margin for VO₂max.
