Effects of Polarized Exercise in Adolescents With Severe Obesity (ALPOLAROB)

NCT05763394 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Recent studies have shown that polarized training (i.e. the combination in the same session of intermittent high intensity exercise training, consisting of repeated, short-duration, high-intensity exercises on a cycle ergometer or a treadmill, and moderate exercise) can encourage the participation of obese people in body weight reduction programs, providing more dynamic exercises, less tiring and therefore more acceptable.

To date, no data are available on the effects of polarized exercise in the rehabilitation of obese adolescents, who are often unwilling to engage in prolonged and monotonous motor activities.

The demonstration that the polarized exercise might encourage the participation of obese adolescents in multidisciplinary body weight reduction programs, improve the cardiovascular capacity and also favor an adequate oxidation of lipids during the phase of exercise and post-exercise rest, could support its prescription in the programs of integrated metabolic rehabilitation of adolescent obesity.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Polarized workout program

Polarized workout lasting approximately 40 minutes (two sessions/day, 5 days a week), characterized by a 5-minute warm-up performed at 50% of the peak V'O2, followed by 3 sets of 2 minutes at 95% of peak V'O2, interspersed with 1 minute of recovery at 40% of peak V'O2, followed by 30 minutes of moderate activity at 60% of V'O2 peak. Total of 24 sessions in 12 days.

OTHER

High intensity workout program

High intensity workout (HIIT) (two sessions/day, 5 days a week), characterized by a 10-minute warm-up performed at 50% of peak V'O2 , followed by 6 series of 40 s of high-intensity walking corresponding to 95% of peak V'O2, interspersed with 5 minutes of walking at 40% of peak V'O2, ending with 5' of cool-down at 50% of the peak V'O2. Total of 24 sessions in 12 days.
