H2 Physical Education: Promoting Cardiometabolic Health by 2 High Intensity Intervallic Training Protocol, Twice a Week at Physical Education
Abstract
Several risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease could be prevented or treated by means of physical activity from childhood. Among the physical exercise programs for the improvement of these variables we can highlight high-intensity interval training. However, most of these studies have been carried out on overweight or obese athletes or schoolchildren and existing protocols on high intensity intervallic training are different. The main objective of the present research is to compare two high-intensity intervallic training protocols on body composition, heart rate, blood pressure, lipid profile, blood glucose, cardiovascular fitness, strength, quality of life, physical activity, enjoyment of physical activity and accident proneness in adolescents. The present investigation will be elaborated by a randomized-control trial design, with 2 experimental groups and a control group (CG). In each experimental groups a different protocol of high-intensity interval training is applied.
It is assessed cardiovascular capacity and strength. Body composition is assessed. Heart rate and blood pressure were also recorded. Lipid profile and blood glucose were obtained by blood sampling. Quality of life, sedentary and physical activity lifestyle, enjoyment of physical activity and Psychoeducational factors determining accident process are assessed.
Conditions: Adolescent Behavior.
Primary outcome: Change to baseline to 8 week of Cardiovascular capacity; Change to baseline to 8 week…
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 85 participants or records.
