High Intensity Interval Circuit Training on Resting Metabolic Rate in Overweight Adults

NCT03972059 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2019-11-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is the first study to examine changes in resting metabolic rate up to 72 hours following an exercise session, and how these changes may be affected by 12 weeks of high intensity interval circuit training (HIICT). Various training programs that have been implemented in previous studies have investigated changes in resting metabolic rate only for the first 2-8 hours following an exercise session.

Briefly, the results of this study will provide insight into the following:

1. To what extent and for how long does HIICT increases the resting metabolic rate following an exercise session?
2. How can this exercise program enhance metabolism without any dietary or other exercise intervention?
3. What is the caloric deficit that will result from 3 months of HIICT and how to what extent this deficit will influence body weight reduction?

Conditions

  • Overweight and Obesity

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise training - Phase 1

Phase 1 is the first 4 weeks of the 12-week training program.

OTHER

Exercise training - Phase 2

Phase 2 is the next 4 weeks following phase 1 of the 12-week training program. The exercise intensity during exercise bouts in this phase is increased compared to the exercise intensity applied in phase 1.

OTHER

Exercise training - Phase 3

Phase 3 is the last 4 weeks of the 12-week training program. The exercise intensity during exercise bouts in this phase is increased compared to the exercise intensity applied in the previous phases.
