Acute Endocrine Responses to Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise in Sedentary Young Women

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Thirty sedentary women aged 18-25 will complete two testing sessions, one with a 20-meter shuttle run (aerobic) and one with a 30-second Wingate test (anaerobic). Blood samples taken before and after each protocol will measure TSH, T3, T4, and cortisol to compare acute hormonal responses between exercise modes. Exclusion criteria include recent injuries, neurological or sensory disorders, and any condition that could affect safe maximal effort. The study uses standard chemiluminescence assays for hormone measurements and will analyze differences between the aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
