Study of Exercise Effects on Lung Function, Body Composition, and Heart-Lung Fitness Based on Training Level

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating how exercise affects physiological responses and body composition in people with different fitness levels. The study aims to understand the differences in body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and ventilatory function among participants based on their training status. This research is conducted by Universidad Politecnica de Madrid and focuses on participants across a wide range of fitness states. Participants will perform an incremental exercise test on a treadmill or cycle ergometer, continuing until they reach volitional exhaustion. During this test, respiratory gases will be measured breath-by-breath using a gas analyzer, and cardiac responses will be monitored via electrocardiogram. Before the exercise test, body composition and bone mineral density will be assessed using dual X-ray absorptiometry DXA. Throughout the study, participants training status will be continuously measured during the exercise test, while body composition and bone density are determined once before the test. The study involves healthy volunteers and includes monitoring of physiological responses and body composition changes related to exercise and fitness. This helps researchers evaluate the relationship between training status and cardiorespiratory and ventilatory function.
