Study Summary

This trial will compare a 12-week high-intensity interval training program with a focus on cardiovascular endurance, neuromuscular function, and muscle architecture in older adults.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for older adults aged 65-95 who are physically independent and have not changed medications in the last month. They should not have done any structured resistance training recently and must get a doctor's okay to do high-intensity workouts.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a Total Body HIIT program over 12 weeks, focusing on improving cardiovascular endurance, muscle function, and structure in older adults through resistance circuits and anaerobic cycling exercises.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include increased risk of injury due to intense activity, muscle soreness, joint stress, fatigue, or cardiovascular strain. Specific risks will depend on individual health conditions.

Answered by AI

What are the aims of this research endeavor?

"The primary objective of the HIIT intervention trial is to gauge changes in voluntary muscle strength (isokinetics) over time. Secondary outcomes being tracked include balance, health-related quality of life and gait speed using a variety of clinical assessments such as the SF-36 survey and 10 meter walking tests."

Answered by AI

Who would meet the criteria for admittance into this trial?

"This research trial is taking on 60 people with sarcopenia aged between 65 and 95.
