NCT07551869
The purpose of this study is to examine how breathing air with different oxygen concentrations (higher or lower than normal) during high-intensity interval training affects: * Aerobic capacity (VO₂max) * Ventilatory thresholds * Blood lactate levels * Perceived exertion This research aims to better understand how oxygen availability influences physiological adaptations to exercise. If you agree to participate, you will undergo the following: Baseline testing: * Cardiopulmonary exercise test (cycling until exhaustion) * Measurement of oxygen consumption, heart rate, and ventilatory thresholds * Blood lactate measurement (finger prick) Training intervention (3 weeks): * 3 sessions per week (total of 9 sessions) * High-intensity interval training (Tabata protocol: 8 × 20 seconds effort / 10 seconds rest) * Exercise performed on an air-resistance cycle ergometer During training, you will breathe either: * Hyperoxic air (high oxygen concentration) or * Hypoxic air (low oxygen concentration) You will be randomly assigned to one of these conditions. Post-intervention testing: • Same assessments as baseline The risks associated with this study are similar to those encountered during high-intensity exercise: * Fatigue * Muscle soreness * Shortness of breath * Temporary discomfort from finger-prick blood sampling Breathing altered oxygen concentrations (hypoxia or hyperoxia) may induce: * Mild dizziness * Increased breathing effort (hypoxia) * Sensations of ease or altered effort perception (hyperoxia) All sessions are supervised by trained personnel, and safety monitoring is ensured throughout the study You may benefit from: * Improved physical fitness * Detailed physiological assessment (VO₂max, thresholds) However, no direct health benefit is guaranteed. Your participation is entirely voluntary. * You may withdraw at any time * You do not need to provide a reason * Withdrawal will not affect your academic or professional standing All collected data will be: * Anonymized * Stored securely * Used only for research purposes Your identity will not be disclosed in any publication. Data will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection regulations (GDPR). You have the right to: * Access your data * Request correction or deletion where applicable
NCT05287594
Purpose: To collect and report feasibility data for conducting a future cluster randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of a TRAINER delivered integrated exercise program in career firefighters, and to determine intervention fidelity and preliminary effects of a TRAINER delivered integrated exercise program in career firefighters. Participants: 52 career firefighters 18 - 60 years old (40 trainees, 6 trainers, 6 administrators). Procedures (methods): Enrolled fire stations will be randomly assigned (3:2 allocation ratio) to a TRAINER or wait-list control (CON) group, stratified by city, using computer-generated random numbers. All enrolled firefighters will undergo a series of assessments at baseline (week 0) and post-testing (week 7) following the TRAINER delivered 6-week intervention.
NCT06998017
The objective of this study is to explore the safety and feasibility of conducting low-volume, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on a total body recumbent stepper (TBRS) in persons with stroke in an inpatient rehabilitation setting.
NCT06754475
This study was planned to investigate the effects of upper extremity low-volume high-intensity interval training (LV-HIIT) on physical and cognitive function in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(HFpEF).The research was planned as a randomized controlled trial. Patients with clinically stable HFpEF at cardiology clinic will be included in the study. These cases will be randomly divided into two groups: intervention group and control grup. After 8 weeks intervention physical functions before and after treatment; functional exercise capacity, arm exercise capacities , peripheral muscle strength , fatigue cognitive functions; anxiety and depression and fear of movement will be evaluated.

The aim of this study is to find out the effect of multimodal high intensity interval training on speed, agility and performance among cricket player.
NCT06043492
Aerobic capacity is critical for many athletes, especially for endurance athletes. Althgough several training methods are implemented by coaches to improve endurance performance, recovery following acute endurance training is not adequately studied. However, such information is crucial for coaches to effectively design the most favorable training program, to avoid muscle injuries and overtraining, and ultimately to improve performance of their athletes. This study aims to examine the acute effect of different continuous and HIIT training protocols on indices of metabolism, EIMD, neuromuscular fatigue and performance in middle- and long-distance runners.

High Intensity Interval Training verses Aerobic Exercises on Emotional Intelligence of University Students
NCT03134781
In this study the investigators utilized a novel hybrid HIIT (high intensity interval training) exercise training approach, the Hybrid Interval Training (DoIT) workout that combines interval training, resistance exercise training and functional training in order to test the hypothesis that DoIT will be able to: i) reduce body mass, ii) improve body composition and iii) alter energy balance, of previously inactive, overweight/obese women.
NCT04815460
Hypoxic exposure increases right ventricular (RV) afterload by triggering pulmonary hypertension, with consequent effects on the structure and function of the RV. Improved myocardial contractility is a critical circulatory adaptation to exercise training. However, the types of exercise that enhance right cardiac mechanics during hypoxic stress have not yet been identified. This study investigated how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) influence right cardiac mechanics during hypoxic exercise (HE).
NCT04733287
Exercise tolerance decreases with age and a sedentary lifestyle. Muscle critical power (CP), is a sensitive measure of exercise tolerance that is more even more relevant to and predictive of endurance performance than VO2max. While recent evidence indicates that CP and muscle function decrease with aging, the cause of this decrease in CP and the best way to mitigate the decrease in CP are unknown. This study will: 1. Measure knee extensor CP in young and old individuals and determine the extent to which changes in muscle oxygen delivery (e.g. resistance artery function, maximum exercise blood flow), muscle mass and composition (e.g. whole-muscle size, muscle fiber cross-sectional area) and mitochondrial oxygen consumption (e.g. maximal coupled respiration of permeabilized fibers biopsied from the knee extensors) contribute to the decrease in CP with age. 2. Examine the effectiveness of two different therapies (1. High Intensity Interval Training, HIIT and 2. Muscle Heat Therapy) at improving muscle function and critical power in young and older adults. 3. Examine the impact of muscle disuse (2 weeks of leg immobilization), a potential contributor to the decrease in muscle function with aging, on muscle function and critical power and determine if heat therapy is an effective means of minimizing the impact of disuse on muscle function and critical power.

High intensity interval training (HIIT) and circuit training (CT) are popular methods of exercise, eliciting improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). However direct comparisons of these two training methods are limited.
