Brief Summary

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

As health awareness continues to rise, more people are prioritizing exercise to improve physical condition and enhance overall fitness. For those lacking exercise habits, selecting a simple, accessible, and effective workout becomes crucial. Against a backdrop of prolonged sitting and inactivity, "super slow jogging" is gaining attention. This aerobic exercise involves a slow walking pace and low intensity, yet burns more calories than regular walking, making it an ideal entry-level activity for beginners or those with lower fitness levels. This study aims to investigate whether incorporating super slow jogging training can effectively enhance cardiorespiratory fitness and respiratory function, comparing its outcomes with other exercise types. The purpose of this experiment is academic research, primarily exploring the impact of exercise intervention on physiological functions. It is not intended for health screening or medical diagnosis.

Super slow jogging

A smart app will provide pacing assistance, adjusting step frequency weekly: Week 1: 150 steps per minute Week 2: 180 steps per minute Week 3: 190 steps per minute Week 4: 200 steps per minute

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Super slow jogging

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

This study is a randomized controlled trial employing simple randomization, where participants draw lots to assign groups. The experiment comprises three groups: the super-slow jogging group, the stationary bicycle group, and the control group. Both exercise intervention groups underwent 50-minute training sessions comprising a 10-minute warm-up, 30-minute main exercise, and 10-minute cool-down.

Super-Slow Jogging Group: Utilized a smart app for pacing assistance, adjusting step frequency weekly:

Week 1: 150 steps/minute Week 2: 180 steps/minute Week 3: 190 steps/minute Week 4: 200 steps/minute Stationary Cycling Group: Participants will engage in continuous cycling training at moderate intensity (60% VO₂max).

Control Group: No exercise training intervention.
