Comparison of Home- vs. Gym-based Exercise Delivery Modes
Conditions: Vascular Stiffness, Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 55 Years
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 17
Sponsor: Egas Moniz - Cooperativa de Ensino Superior, CRL
Location: Portugal
Summary
Home-based exercise interventions were the only alternatives to attenuate physical deconditioning and ameliorate traditional and emergent cardiovascular risk factors progression during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Benefits in physical and psychological health have only been reported in adults without intellectual and developmental disability (IDD).The purpose of this study is to compare home vs gym-based delivery exercise modes of two 8-week supervised aerobic training regimes on cardiorespiratory fitness and arterial structure and stiffness in adults with IDD.It is hypothesized that home- and gym- based exercise delivery modes will be equally effective in improving cardiorespiratory fitness and overall arterial heath, although in an intensity dependent manner.
A secondary analysis examining changes in blood pressure and body composition will be performed.
