Summary

Sprint interval exercise training refers to brief repeated bouts of vigorous effort that are separated by short periods of recovery. Cardiac output refers to the amount of blood that is pumped out of the heart each minute. Research has shown that sprint interval exercise training can increase peak cardiac output - or the highest cardiac output that is achieved during strenuous exercise - but this response may be influenced by biological sex. The primary goal of this study is to determine whether the peak cardiac output response to 12 weeks of sprint interval exercise training differs between males and females. Cardiac output will be estimated using a non-invasive technique that involves breathing in a mixture of standardized gases. This research will help to determine whether biological sex influences the response of the heart to brief vigorous cycle exercise training.
