Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinicaltrial is to assess and compare isokinetic performance, surface electromyography, laboratory parameters, and cardiorespiratory function both before and after engaging in vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity(VILPA) within a healthy population. The main question it aims to answer is: [1] Does VILPA yield effective outcomes? Throughout the course of the trial, participants will engage in a simulated regimen of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity for a duration of 8 weeks. The efficacy of the exercise protocol will be quantified and evaluated through the utilization of a wearable device.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity
The specific exercise regimen involves performing rope jumping activities three times a day, with each session aimed at surpassing the exercise threshold (not conducted in a continuous manner), where the heart rate should exceed 160 beats per minute. This routine will be undertaken five times a week, continuously for a span of 8 weeks.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Isokinetic strength testing	Isokinetic strength testing with the Isomed 2000	30 minutes
Primary	Surface electromyography	a standard surface electromyography system (MyoMove-EOW, NCC, China) was utilized. Surface electrodes were placed using the belly tendon method at 6 specified locations on both sides of the lower legs (anterior tibialis on both sides, gastrocnemius on both sides, and soleus on both sides). The electrode placement positions and operational procedures strictly adhered to the SENIAM guidelines (http://www.seniam.org). During the testing process, root mean square (RMS) and averaged electromyography (AEMG) values were collected to reflect the muscle force and motor unit recruitment of the selected muscle groups.	15 minutes
Secondary	Blood lipid	encompassing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglycerides, were assessed using the CardioChek device (Polymer Technology Systems, Inc., 7736 Zionsville Road, USA)	5 minutes
