About this study

Official title: Time at VO2max During High-Intensity Interval Training Manipulating Work and Rest

The project titled "Time at VO2max During High-Intensity Interval Training Manipulating Work and Rest" aims to investigate how different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols influence the time athletes spend at or above 90% of their VO2max. By adjusting the work-to-rest ratios in the HIIT formats, the study seeks to determine which configurations maximize the time spent in this high-intensity zone, contributing to more effective endurance training strategies. The findings could help optimize training protocols for athletes targeting improvements in aerobic capacity and performance.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Short Intervals HIITProcedure or surgery

    Participants will undergo different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols, which involve repeated bouts of exercise at an intensity above 90% of VO2max, followed by recovery periods. The work and rest durations will vary across the protocols to assess the impact on the total time spent at or above 90% of VO2max.

  • Long intervals HIITProcedure or surgery

    Participants will undergo different high-intensity interval training (HIIT) protocols, which involve repeated bouts of exercise at an intensity above 90% of VO2max, followed by recovery periods. The work and rest durations will vary across the protocols to assess the impact on the total time spent at or above 90% of VO2max.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Short Intervals HIIT and Long intervals HIIT in people with High Intensity Interval Exercise (HIIE), run by University of Maia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Filipe Maia (22 986 6000, FMAIA.dcd@umaia.pt), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

time above 90% vo2max (time frame: Duration of the HIIT (up to 20 minute)). 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 15 Oct 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
