Low-weight-high-repetitions (LWHR) programs constitute a popular group-based form of exercise for the general population, accompanied by various health benefits for the participants. However, the effect of such programs on cardiorespiratory fitness is still controversial. The aim of the current study was to examine the effects of a 3-month LWHR group exercise program vs pilates on cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition and overall health on previously inactive adult women.

Eligibility | Prior to the initiation of the study, participants will be examined by a physician for confirming their health status. According to the updated criteria, "inactive" is an individual who is performing insufficient amounts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (Sedentary Behaviour Research Network, 2012). Inclusion Criteria: - Female, inactive, able to participate in an exercise training Exclusion Criteria: - male gender, inability to perform the exercise training program due to musculoskeletal injury, a medication that could affect cardio-metabolic function, including anti-hypertensive, diabetic or anti-obesity drugs and inability to systematically participate in the proposed training programs according to the schedule (i.e. absence from 3 consecutive exercise sessions or missed more than 10% of total exercise sessions), psychiatric disorders. |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Other | Changes from baseline Muscle Strength at 12 weeks | Handgrip strength (in kg) of both arms will be measured using a digital dynamometer (T.K.K. 5401 Grip-D; Takey, Tokyo, Japan). For each arm, the participants will be asked to hold squeeze it for about 3 seconds, whilst no other movement was allowed. | 12 weeks | |
Primary | Changes from baseline Aerobic Fitness at 12 weeks | The 20m shuttle run will be used in order to assess aerobic fitness levels (Leger et al., 1988). Briefly, the 20m shuttle run test involves continuous shuttle running, between two parallel lines set exactly at 20m apart, in time to recorded beeps being indicated by signals produced from a commercially available pre-recorded CD (Coachwise Ltd, UK). Initial speed dictated at 8.5 km/h and increased by 0.5 km/h per minute. The test for each participant will be terminated when the participant could no longer maintain the speed-pace, for more than two consecutive beeps. For each participant, the number of shuttles completed will be recorded as an index of their aerobic fitness level (Leger et al., 1988). | 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Changes from baseline Body Composition at 12 weeks | Body fat percentage will be measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) (Tanita body composition analyser, TBF-300). Participants will be asked to avoid any fitness activity, caffeine consumption or eating for 3 hours previous to the test. | 12 weeks |
