Effects of three distinct protocols of fitness training on body composition, strength and blood lactate
2010
AIM: Circuit training is a very popular methodology in fitness program because it allows to join together cardiovascular and strength training. The purpose of this study was to determine the physiological effects of circuit training performed at different intensities on body composition, strength and blood lactate in middle-aged subjects who had recently undergone only minimum physical training. METHODS: Forty participants (aged 50-65) were assigned to a control group (CG) or to one of the three exercise treatment groups: Endurance Group (EG), Circuit-Low Intensity Group (CLG), Circuit-High Intensity Group (CHG). The three groups exercised three times per week, 50 min per session for 12 wk …
The effects of three different training protocols on beginners in eight weeks
2012
The aim of this study was to compare three different methods of training in order to determine the effectiveness on weight loss in relation to body composition in adults. One hundred subjects aged 18 to 38 years, with a BMI equal to or greater than 27 and a body fat percentage greater than 22% for women and 12% for men, were enrolled in this study. They were subdivided into 3 groups that followed a different protocol. Before to start the training protocols was detected the starting level of fitness by a test of maximal oxygen consumption, VO2 max and maximal strength tests that it was detected by one maximal repetition of the major muscle groups; this has allowed to draw up personalized tra…
The effect of high-intensity interval exercise program on blood lipids and hormones in recreationally active adults
2015
Johdanto. Tyypin 2 diabetes sekä verenkieroelimistön sairaudet ovat yleistyneet ja niiden tehokkaimpana ehkäisynä pidetään liikuntaa. Suomessa ihmiset eivät noudata liikuntasuosi-tuksia ja syyksi inaktiivisuuteen sanotaankin olevan ajan ja motivaation puute. Korkeate-hoinen intervalliharjoittelu on ollut suosittua siksi, että se säästää aikaa ja sen vaikutuksien terveyteen ja kuntoon ajatellaan olevan vähintäänkin samanlaiset kun aerobisen harjoittelun. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia onko kahden erityyppisen intervalliharjoittelun (juoksu ja kuntopiiri) välillä eroja veren lipideissä ja hormoneissa, kun työmäärä ja intensiteetti pysyvät samana. Tällä hetkellä tutkimuksia tästä a…
Effects of different circuit training protocols on body mass, fat mass and blood parameters among overweight adults
2015
The benefits of regular exercise are known for a long time, but the mechanisms underlying the exercise mode recommendations for specific chronic cardiovascular diseases remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of different circuit training protocols in sedentary overweight adults.
A Group-Based 8-Week Functional Interval-Type Outdoor Training Program Improves Physical Performance in Recreationally Active Adults
2022
Even though physical activity is an important aspect of health, lack of time or motivation impede people from working out regularly. One type of training program that is both efficient and motivating is functional interval-type outdoor training. To evaluate this, our study had 81 participants complete a battery of physical performance tests (incremental treadmill test, core stability test and functional fitness test) before and after an 8-week outdoor interval-type training intervention. Training procedures included multimodal and high-intensity exercises performed in consistent, small groups. Results showed that the interval training program produced significant increases in the interventi…
