The Effects of High vs. Low Time Spent Near VO2max During Two Work-matched High Intensity Interval Training.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Exercise training for VO2max. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is used to define cardiorespiratory fitness, which is important to health and sport performance in humans. Although different types of training can improve VO2max, the high intensity interval training is recognized as one of the best ways to do it. Furthermore, it has long been speculated that high intensity interval training that elicits a high time spent near VO2max could be the best way to improve VO2max. However, this theory has not been verified. Thus, the investigators performed a randomized controlled trial with crossover in healthy individuals who underwent two high intensity interval training protocols of two weeks, being a workout with longer and other with shorter time spent near VO2max.
