Hybrid Exercise Training for Health, Performance and Well-Being (DoIT II)

Summary

Observing a lack of research investigating the chronic physiological and psychological responses to this type of exercise training the aim of this study is to investigate the optimal training configurations of DoIT to produce positive effects on health, performance and quality of life markers in sedentary overweight or obese adults aged 30-55 years. The DoIT program will be performed in a small-group setting indoor or outdoor implementing a progressive manner for 12 months and using bodyweight exercises with alternative modes.

Conditions

• High-Intensity Interval Training
• Body Composition
• Performance
• Habitual Physical Activity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

DoIT-1

A hybrid small-group (5-10 participants/session) training modality, that combines interval training, circuit-based resistance exercise and functional training and performed according to a periodized model of exercise prescription as an alternative approach for weight management, health, performance and well-being. DoIT will be performed once per week on non-consecutive days for 12 months.

BEHAVIORAL

DoIT-2

A hybrid small-group (5-10 participants/session) training modality, that combines interval training, circuit-based resistance exercise and functional training and performed according to a periodized model of exercise prescription as an alternative approach for weight management, health, performance and well-being. DoIT will be performed twice per week on non-consecutive days for 12 months.

BEHAVIORAL

DoIT-3

A hybrid small-group (5-10 participants/session) training modality, that combines interval training, circuit-based resistance exercise and functional training and performed according to a periodized model of exercise prescription as an alternative approach for weight management, health, performance and well-being. DoIT will be performed thrice per week on non-consecutive days for 12 months.

BEHAVIORAL

Control

No training will be performed during a 1-year period. Participation only in measurements.
