Study Summary

This trial will study how weekly exercise affects fitness in uni students. 4 groups will train 2-4 times a week & do 4-6 30sec all-out sprints with 4min rest.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy university students who are already somewhat active, exercising 2-3 days per week, but not in a systematic training program for the past 3 months. They must be deemed safe to become physically active based on specific health screening guidelines.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study examines how different frequencies of sprint interval training—2, 3, or 4 days per week—affect fitness improvements compared to no exercise at all. Each session includes several short intense sprints with rest in between over a period of four weeks.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the document doesn't list side effects explicitly, typical side effects from high-intensity interval training can include muscle soreness, fatigue and an increased risk of injury if not performed correctly.
