Clinical Trial Summary

In this study, the investigators will be able to estimate the metabolic cost of several foundational bodyweight training exercises.


Description:

Bodyweight training has become a popular cardiovascular training choice in fitness centers and athletic performance enhancement facilities. Despite widespread use and growing popularity, little is known about the metabolic demands of such a training method. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to quantify the cardiovascular and metabolic cost from various foundational bodyweight exercises in order to contribute to a better planning of exercise programs in the real world. Ten healthy young adults were assigned to execute seven bodyweight exercises (acute bout) for 30 and 45 seconds. Anthropometric, metabolic, and performance measurements were conducted at baseline. The metabolic cost was estimated from heart rate, blood lactate, resting oxygen uptake, exercise oxygen uptake, and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption measurements using a portable gas analyzer.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in exercise-induced energy expenditure Exercise energy expenditure (kcal) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system At pre-exercise, during, and post-exercise session (single bout lasting 30 and 45 seconds)
Primary Change in excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) EPOC (kcal) will be measured using a portable indirect calorimetry system At post-exercise session (single bout lasting 30 and 45 seconds)
Primary Change in blood lactate concentration (BLa) BLa (mmol/L) concentration will be measured in a microphotometer with commercially available kits. At pre- and post-exercise session (single bout) at 3 minutes post-exercise
Primary Change in heart rate Heart rate (bpm) will be measured with a wearable heart rate monitor At pre-exercise, during, and post-exercise session (single bout lasting 30 and 45 seconds)
Primary Change in perceived exertion Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) will be measured with the Borg scale (0-10) At pre-exercise, during, and post-exercise session (single bout lasting 30 and 45 seconds)
Secondary Body weight Body weight will be measured on a beam balance with stadiometer At baseline
Secondary Body height Body height will be measured on a beam balance with stadiometer At baseline
Secondary Body mass index (BMI) BMI will be calculated using the Quetelet's equation At baseline
Secondary Waist circumference (WC) WC (cm) will be measured using a Gullick II tape At baseline
Secondary Hip circumference (HC) HC (cm) will be measured using a Gullick II tape At baseline
Secondary Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) WHR will be calculated by dividing the waist by the hip measurement At baseline
Secondary Resting metabolic rate (RMR) RMR (kcal) will be measured using a portable open-circuit indirect calorimeter with a ventilated hood system At baseline
Secondary Body fat (BF) Body fat (%) will be assessed by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) BF (%) will be assessed by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) At baseline
Secondary Fat mass (FM)t Body fat (%) will be assessed by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) FM (kg) will be assessed by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) At baseline
Secondary Fat-free mass (FFM) FFM (kg) will be assessed by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) At baseline
Secondary Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) VO2max (mL/kg/min) will be assessed by a portable open-circuit spirometry system. At baseline
Secondary Maximal strength (1RM) 1RM (kg) will be measured bilaterally on a horizontal leg press and seated chest press machine.. At baseline
Secondary Muscular endurance Muscular endurance (repetitions) will be measured on a 1-min curl-up and push-up test. At baseline
