Overview
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?
Detailed 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).
Interventions
- Other Exercise
Incremental exercise test until volitional exhaustion
Primary outcome measures
- Training status [Time frame: breath-by-breath during the whole test]
- Body composition [Time frame: one determination before the test]
- Bone mineral density [Time frame: one determination before the test]
Eligibility criteria
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.
Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
