Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
BEHAVIORAL - 4x4 minutes high intensity interval training
BEHAVIORAL - 10x1 minute high intensity interval training

Experimental: 4x4 minutes interval training - 4x4 minutes high intensity interval training with 4 minute intervals

Experimental: 10x1 minute interval training - 10x1 minute high intensity interval training with 1 minute intervals

No intervention: control - Physical activity recommended


BEHAVIORAL: 4x4 minutes high intensity interval training
Treadmill running/walking with 10 minutes varm-up at 60-70% of maximum heart rate, 4x4 minute intervals at 90-95% of maximum heart rate separated by 3-minutes active pauses at 60-70% of maximum heart rate, and 3 minutes cool-down.

BEHAVIORAL: 10x1 minute high intensity interval training
Treadmill running/walking with 10 minutes varm-up at 60-70% of maximum heart rate, ten 1-minute intervals at maximal intensity (that can be performed for one minute), separated by 1-minutes active pauses at 60-70% of maximum heart rate, and 3 minutes cool-down.
