Suspension Training Warm-up for Exercise Performance
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial explores how two different warm-up methods affect exercise performance in regularly active young adults. Participants will either walk on a treadmill or perform a TRX suspension warm-up (using suspension straps) before taking a treadmill test to assess how each warm-up impacts their peak oxygen uptake (VO2max) and overall heart and lung responses. The researchers aim to determine if TRX suspension exercises are as effective as walking for preparing for intense exercise. Ideal participants work out vigorously for at least five hours a week and can safely complete a physical test. As an unphased trial, this study allows participants to contribute to understanding exercise preparation methods.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that these warm-up methods are safe for exercise performance testing?
Research shows that suspension training, such as TRX, is generally safe when used properly. Ensuring the equipment is securely attached to support body weight is crucial. This exercise type can improve heart and muscle health, reduce body fat, and help control blood pressure. Studies indicate it is 89.2% effective for heart health. Suspension training can also lower injury risk and enhance physical fitness, as observed in Navy personnel. While caution is necessary to avoid injuries, these findings suggest that suspension training is well-tolerated and offers several health benefits.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about the Suspension Warm-up (SW) because it offers a dynamic alternative to traditional walking warm-ups. Unlike the standard treadmill walking warm-up, the SW uses TRX exercises like reverse lunges and jump squats, potentially activating more muscle groups and enhancing overall exercise performance. This method is designed to be more engaging and could lead to better pre-exercise readiness, which might boost workout effectiveness and enjoyment.
What evidence suggests that this trial's warm-up methods could be effective for exercise performance?
Studies have shown that TRX suspension training can improve overall fitness by increasing flexibility, balance, and core strength, while also boosting endurance and power. Research indicates it can enhance heart health and muscle fitness. In this trial, participants will perform either a Suspension Warm-up (SW) with dynamic TRX exercises or a Walking Warm-up (WW) on a treadmill. These benefits suggest that TRX suspension training might achieve similar oxygen use and heart and lung responses as traditional warm-ups like walking. Overall, suspension training offers a promising way to enhance exercise performance.56789
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for recreationally active young adults who can safely perform exercise tests. Specific health conditions that could interfere with safe participation are not listed, but typically those with heart issues or severe physical limitations might be excluded.Inclusion Criteria

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?
Interventions
- Suspension Training
Trial Overview
The study is testing the effects of two different warm-up methods on exercise performance: a walking warm-up and a suspension training (TRX) warm-up. Participants will do one type of warm-up before undergoing a treadmill test to see which method better prepares them for peak performance.
