About this study

Official title: Comparison the Effects of Deep Water Running and Treadmill Running on Lower Extremity Anaerobic Exercise Performance in Sedentary Young Adults: A Randomized Controlled Study

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of different exercise programs as 'Deep Water Running' and 'Treadmill Running' in sedentary young adults.

Read the detailed description

Rapid and explosive movements such as jumping or stair climbing need anaerobic performance. Anaerobic performance is negatively affected by sedentary behaviour due to loss of muscle strength and endurance. Exercise is an effective method to increase muscle strength and physical performance.

Exercising in water has unique physiological characteristics such as buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and metacentric effect. In addition, exercising in high speeds in water leads strengthening. Deep water running is employed to imitate the running on land. It is advocated that deep water running might result additional benefits than running on land. Therefore, the effect of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of deep water running and treadmill running in sedentary young adults.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in lower extremity anaerobic performance

    The lower extremity anaerobic performance will be measured by using Wingate Anaerobic Capacity Test. The average power (watt, watt/kg), and peak power (watt/watt/kg) will be recorded.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks later

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Change in lower extremity strength

    The strengths of M. Quadriceps Femoris, M. Gluteus Maximus, and M. Gastrocnemius will be assessed by using a hand-held dynamometer. Muscle strength will be recorded in kilograms.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks later

  2. Change in agility

    T agility test will be used for evaluating agility. The time will be recorded for completing the test.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks later

  3. Change in trunk muscle endurance

    Side bridge position will be employed to measure the trunk muscles endurance. The time until the failure in the position will be recorded.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks later

  4. Change in fatigue

    Fatigue will be assessed by using Fatigue Severity Scale. It includes nine items, and each item is scored between 1-7 (1: totally disagree, 7: totally agree). Higher scores indicate higher levels of fatigue.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks later

  5. Change in total body mass

    Total body mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks later

  6. Change in fat mass

    Fat mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks later

  7. Change in fat free muscle mass

    Fat free muscle mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks later

  8. Change in basal metabolism rate

    Basal metabolism will be measured by analyzing gas exchange in rest position. Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production will be recorded.

    Measured: At baseline and 8 weeks later
