Low Frequency Severe-Intensity Interval Training Markedly Alters Respiratory Compensation Point During Incremental Exercise in Untrained Male
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: This study investigated the effect of low-frequency severe-intensity interval training on the respiratory compensation point (RCP) during incremental exercise test. Eighteen healthy males (age; 20.7 ± 2.2 years, range 18 to 29 years, height; 174.0 ± 5.6 cm, weight; 68.8 ± 13.5 kg) were randomly assigned to an interval training group or a control group. Interval training was conducted once weekly for 3 months. Each session consisted of three bouts of bicycle ergometer exercise at 80% maximum work rate until volitional fatigue. Before (baseline) and after the 3-month intervention, incremental exercise test was performed on a bicycle ergometer for determination of ventilatory threshold (VT), RCP, and peak oxygen consumption (V?O2 peak). The training program resulted in significant increases of V?O2 peak (+ 14%, p < 0.001,
