NCT03284450 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is a paucity of studies investigating exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) in females and only one in response to dance-type exercise. This study aimed to firstly elucidate the physiological profile of EIMD following a dance-specific protocol, and second to compare the magnitude of damage to that experienced following a sport-specific protocol in physically active females.

Conditions

  • Exercise Induced Muscle Damage

Interventions

OTHER

DPFT

The DPFT described previously (Redding et al., 2009) involves the repetition of a 'dance phrase' representative of contemporary dance, with each phrase separated by a 2 minute rest period. For the present study the originally described test was extended; the adapted protocol involved 10 x 1 minute movement phrases, each separated by 2 minutes rest.

OTHER

SSRS

The SSRS (Howatson \& Milak, 2009) involved 15 x 30 m sprints with a rapid 10 m deceleration phase, with each sprint departing every 65 seconds.
