Summary

This study examines whether high intensity interval training (HIIT) or moderate, continuous endurance exercise training (MCEET) results in greater program adherence when matched for session time. Body composition and endurance capacity will also be measured to identify any significant changes among two exercise groups. It is hypothesized that HIIT will result in greater program adherence as well as greater improvements in body composition and endurance capacity. Both exercise groups will complete 20 minutes sessions (which include exercise) three times per week for five week. The first week will be supervised by study investigators while the remainder of the study will be unsupervised in order to examine how free-living individuals adhere to two exercise programs. There will be no attempt to restrict food intake during the exercise intervention. Body composition will be measured by densitometry \[body mass/body volume\] using a BodPod. Endurance capacity will be assessed using a mile run. Two validated questionnaires \[Physical activity enjoyment scale and Exercise adherence ratings scale\] as well as heart rate data (recorded before, during and after each training sessions) will be used to confirm exercise adherence. These data may help us determine the optimal type of exercise program to maintain healthy body composition.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HIIT

The participant will perform HIIT where they will warm up for 3 minutes at 30% maximum heart rate (MHR), followed by 20 seconds of high intensity interval exercise at an all out intensity separated by 2 minutes of active recovery at 30% MHR. The interval will be repeated six times. Once completing all six intervals, participants will cool down for 3 minutes. This training program will be performed three times per week for five weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

MCEET

The participant will perform MCEET, where they will warm up for 3 minutes at 30% maximum heart rate (MHR), followed by 14 minutes of moderate, continuous endurance exercise at 70% MHR. Participants will cool down for 3 minutes. This training program will be performed three times per week for five weeks.
