Abstract
Aim: Several programs using total body weight exercise methods have been applied in several populations especially using HIIT. The present study assessed the oxygen consumption, heart rate, and energy expenditure of a HIIT body work® session. Methods: Twelve male participants performed 20 minutes of a HIIT body work, consisting of 20 sets of 30 seconds of stimulation in all-out intensity, followed by 30 seconds of passive recovery. Five cycles were performed for each exercise (jumping jack, burpee, mountain climb, and squat jump). Results: The mean VO2 of the session was 34 ± 7 ml.kg.min-1 (80.35% of the VO2 peak obtained in the session). The energy expenditure of the session was 251±27 kcal (13±1 kcal.min-1) and 39 ± 8 kcal (75±1 kcal.min-1) during the recovery time. The heart rate values were 160±18 bpm (91% of the peak HR of the session) and 125±22 bpm (71%) in recovery. In addition, significant differences (p<0.05) in maximal VO2 were found between jumping jack, mountain climber, burpee and squat jump. Conclusion: Based on the present data, a HIIT bodywork® session presented energy expenditure as a typical high-intensity exercise profile.
Highlights
The practice of body weight exercises first appeared on the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) trend list in 2013, occupying the third position[1]
The practice of body weight exercises and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are among the top 5 positions in the trend survey since 2014, showing that training with body weight and HIIT methods are directly related to the fitness world
The combination of whole-body exercise and high-intensity interval training methods have been investigated in the literature in acute[3,4,5,6] or chronic[7,8,9,10,11] study designs
Summary
The practice of body weight exercises first appeared on the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) trend list in 2013, occupying the third position[1]. While high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has only emerged in 2014 in 1st place and until the list of trends of 2019, it remains in the top 3 positions[2]. The practice of body weight exercises and HIIT are among the top 5 positions in the trend survey since 2014, showing that training with body weight and HIIT methods are directly related to the fitness world. The combination of whole-body exercise and high-intensity interval training methods have been investigated in the literature in acute[3,4,5,6] or chronic[7,8,9,10,11] study designs. Different session designs have been previously addressed[3,4,5,6,12], there still lacks information about elaboration, monitoring, progression, and characterization of the training session
