Summary

There are different forms of physical activity proven to improve muscular strength and cardiorespiratory fitness. One of them is concurrent training, which is defined as the combination of two or more physical capacities in the same session (resistance and endurance training). Another modality is superset training, which is characterized by performing two or more exercises for the same muscle group, or a different muscle group, consecutively, with minimal recovery between them.

To date, the evidence has shown studies comparing different resistance training protocols, vs. aerobic training, and vs. concurrent training, performed in various ways, on muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness. Most of these studies involved men with resistance training experience, and little research linked women. It should be noted that no study found has used virtual training to test the effects of superset training compared to concurrent training in women with low to moderate levels of physical activity.

Therefore, this study aims to identify the effect of a superset training program vs. a concurrent training program on muscle strength, cardiorespiratory fitness, motivation, adherence, and health-related quality of life in women with a low to moderate level of physical activity for eight weeks virtually.

Conditions

  • Healthy Volunteers

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Superset

A strength circuit training will be performed in a supersets fashion. Three strength circuit training in three blocks. 1. One leg squat, side plank, and push up. 2. Deadlift, lumbar extension stretch, and row. 3. Glute bridge, crunches, and front raise.

BEHAVIORAL

Concurrent

Six resistance exercises in a traditional fashion: three exercises for the lower body (one leg squat, deadlift, and glute bridge). Three exercises for the upper body (push up, row, and front raise). And three aerobic exercises (floor tap squat, jumping jacks, and skaters).
