The Effects Of High Intensity Intermittent Exercise In Normobaric Hypoxia On Aerobic Capacity And Body Composition In Overweight And Obese Sedentary Adults, Max W. Adolphs
All NMU Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to examine if high intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) combined with normobaric hypoxia had a multiplicative effect on body composition, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), and resting energy expenditure (REE) in overweight and obese sedentary adults. Twelve participates were recruited for the study. Participants were randomly assigned to either a hypoxic training (HT) group equivalent to 3,048 m (FIO2 = 14.5%) or a normoxic training (NT) group equivalent to 0 m (FIO2 = 20.9%) three times a week for six weeks in a normobaric hypoxic chamber. HIIE consisted …
