Measuring oxygen levels during intense squat exercises

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

This observational study investigates the effects of a high-intensity squat exercise protocol, termed 'Death by Squats', on oxygen saturation and fatigue levels in participants. A group of 25-30 moderately to severely physically active individuals will perform bodyweight squats until maximum exertion, while their heart rate and muscle oxygen saturation are monitored. Blood lactate levels will be measured at rest and peak exertion, and participants will report their perceived exertion and reasons for stopping the exercise. The study aims to gather data from April 2023 to December 2024.
