Supra High-intensity Interval Training for Police Officers
A study testing Supra high intensity interval training in people with Physical Fitness, run by University of Texas at Austin at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Police work is extreme in terms of the physical activity and physical exertion spectrum as it is composed of a mixture of enforced sitting and sudden physical exertion. Police officers remain sitting for the majority of their working hours. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Supra High-intensity Interval Training for Austin Police Officers
Police work is extreme in terms of the physical activity and physical exertion spectrum as it is composed of a mixture of enforced sitting and sudden physical exertion. Police officers remain sitting for the majority of their working hours. In theory, regular physical activity exerts a number of health and fitness benefits that could act on most issues that police officers suffer from. Supra high-intensity interval training (supra HIIT) appears to be a perfect solution for police officers as the training modality can be accomplished in less than 5 minutes. The primary purpose of this proposal is to create and assess supra HIIT program that is suitable for police officers and then to assess feasibility of such exercise program in a small pilot study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Supra high intensity interval trainingBehavioural
The exercise program will consist of eight 20-second all-out exercise bouts followed by 10 seconds of rest for a total of 4 minutes of total exercise duration. The intensity of exercise is all out. The exercise will be conducted 3 times a week for 8 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Supra high intensity interval training | Experimental | The experimental group will engage in the high intensity interval training. Receives: Behavioral: Supra high intensity interval training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Aerobic power
Aerobic fitness or maximal oxygen consumption will be evaluated during incremental treadmill exercise tests (1% grade increase per minute at individualized treadmill speed).
Measured: 8 weeks
