About this study
This study aims at investigating the metabolic cost of several fundamental exercises with Kettlebell. Kettlebell training has become a popular training modality that is efficiently used to improve cardiovascular status and physical performance. Despite its widespread use and popularity the metabolic cost of exercises using kettlebell remains to be elucidated. Therefore, the metabolic cost of various fundamental exercise with kettlebell will be determined to aid the planning of exercise training programs.
Read the detailed description
Ten healthy young adults will be assigned to this study. Participants will initially undergo a baseline assessment of their anthropometrics, body composition (by DXA), resting metabolic rate (RMR), cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), muscular strength [maximal strength (1RM) and muscular endurance] and functional capacity. After baseline screening, participants will execute in different days (one exercise per day) one set of each of the following 7 exercises: (1) plank with kettlebell pass, (2) swings, (3) overhead squat-thrusters, (4) lunges with motion hands, (5) single leg deadlift, (6) wood chop και (7) snatch, in two different conditions: (i) 30 sec and (ii) 45 sec exercise duration, in a random order. Prior to each exercise resting heart rate, blood lactate concentration, oxygen consumption and rate of perceived exertion will be recorded. Heart rate and oxygen consumption (through portable gas analyzer) will be continuously monitored during the exercise and after the end of it, until the oxygen consumption reach the pre-exercise values (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption). Blood lactate and rate of perceived exertion will be reassessed post-exercise.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in exercise energy expenditure
Total energy expenditure (kcals) during the exercise will be assessed by summing the kcals of the oxidative system, the glycolytic system and the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption.
Measured: At pre-exercise, during and up to 15 minutes after the exercise (a single set lasting 30 or 45 seconds)
Change in aerobic energy expenditure
The contribution of oxidative system in exercise energy expenditure will be assessed by the change in oxygen consumption during the exercise using a portable gas analyzer.
Measured: At pre-exercise and during the exercise (a single set lasting 30 or 45 seconds)
Change in anaerobic energy expenditure
The contribution of glycolytic system to exercise energy expenditure will be assessed by the change in blood lactate concentration after the exercise
Measured: At pre-exercise and post-exercise (a single set lasting 30 or 45 seconds)
Change in recovery energy expenditure
The contribution of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption in exercise energy expenditure will be assessed by the change in oxygen consumption after the exercise using a portable gas analyzer
Measured: At pre-exercise and up to 15 minutes after the exercise (a single set lasting 30 or 45 seconds)
Secondary outcomes (4)
Change in blood lactate concentration
Blood lactate concentration will be assessed using a portable analyzer
Measured: At pre-exercise and 4 minutes after the exercise session
Change in heart rate
Heart rate will be continuously monitored using a wearable heart rate monitor
Measured: At pre-exercise, during and up to 15 minutes after the exercise session.
Change in rate of perceived exertion
Rate of perceived exertion will be assessed using the Borg scale (0-10)
Measured: At pre-exercise and post-exercise session.
Change in respiratory exchange ratio
Respiratory exchange ratio will be assessed using a portable gas analyzer
Measured: At pre-exercise, during and up to 15 minutes after the exercise session.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Greece. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in exercise energy expenditure (time frame: At pre-exercise, during and up to 15 minutes after the exercise (a single set lasting 30 or 45 seconds)). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2023.
