Short Sprint Interval Training with Active vs. Passive Recovery for Young Adults
Effect of Short Sprint Interval Training With Active Recovery as Compared to Passive Recovery on Anaerobic Capacity in Non-athletic Population
NA · Foundation University Islamabad · NCT06625424
This study is testing whether young adults who do short bursts of intense exercise recover better with active rest or just sitting still, to see how it affects their fitness levels.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of Short Sprint Interval Training (SSIT) on anaerobic capacity in non-athletic young adults, comparing active recovery to passive recovery methods. SSIT involves brief, intense exercise bouts followed by recovery periods, designed to be time-efficient and accessible for individuals who are not athletes. Conducted over 12 months at a football ground in Islamabad, the study aims to provide insights into how different recovery strategies impact performance in a field setting, as most existing research has been lab-based. The goal is to promote a modified training protocol that enhances both anaerobic and aerobic capacities while being feasible for the general population.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are healthy young adults aged 18-25 who engage in moderate to vigorous exercise at least once a week.
Not a fit: Patients with recent injuries or those with musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, or neurological disorders may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new, effective exercise regimen for non-athletic young adults to improve their anaerobic capacity and overall fitness.
How similar studies have performed: While there is limited research on field-based SSIT, similar studies on traditional Sprint Interval Training have shown positive outcomes, suggesting potential for success in this novel approach.
