Summary

This study investigates the influence of an increased physical activity and sports workload in formerly nonsporting healthy individuals on current promising biomarkers of atherosclerosis research.

Conditions

  • Influence of 8 Months of Increased Physical Activity Workload on Osteoprotegerin and Endocan Levels

Interventions

OTHER

Increased sports workload

At least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week. The "Recommendations for Adults From the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association" clearly define physical exercise intensity levels. The present study follows these recommendations. Consequently, moderate physical activity can be reached by e.g. quick walking, slow bicycling, slow swimming...; it is also possible to reach the expected workload by engaging in vigorous exercise (e.g. jogging/running, quick swimming, playing soccer/tennis...). The gain in performance will objectified by performing a bicycle stress test at the beginning and the end of the study.
