About

The goal of this cross-over study is to evaluate the physiological response to exercise and body composition according to training status in participants with a wide spectrum of fitness states. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Which are the physiological differences across participants with different training status?
• Which are the body composition differences across participants with different training status?

Full description

To satisfy the objective of the project, participants will perform an incremental test until volitional exhaustion. During this test, respiratory gases will be measured via a gas analyser as well as the cardiac response via an electrocardiogram. The same participants will have their body composition measured by dual X-ray densitometry (DXA).

Enrollment: 1,272 estimated patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Be in enough physical fitness to perform the incremental test to volitional exhaustion.

Exclusion criteria

• Present any health condition preventing to perform the incremental exercise test until volitional exhaustion.
