Summary

Purpose: To determine the effects of three Short Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (SMICT) exercise programs with different durations, on functional capacity, resting heart rate (RHR) and physical activity enjoyment in sedentary women.

Methods: A randomized clinical trial was performed. 45 sedentary women were randomly allocated to either a: i) 8-minutes short exercise group; ii) 10-minutes short exercise group; and iii) 15-minutes short exercise group. All three groups received a short exercise training program at moderate intensity for 3 sessions/week, over 3 weeks. Before and after the interventions, functional capacity was evaluated through the 6-minute walking test, and RHR with a pulse oximeter. Physical activity enjoyment was measured with the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale after the intervention.

Exercise

Exercise with a cycle ergometer in three phases: * Warm-up: the exercise intensity was determined at 50-60% of HRmax obtained in the effort test, and lasted 2 minutes. * Short exercise at moderate intensity for 8, 10 or 15 minutes according to group allocation. The exercise was cycling at 75% HRmax determined with an effort test. * Cool down: the exercise intensity was determined at 50-60% of HRmax obtained in the effort test, and lasted 2 minutes.
