High intensity interval training (HIT) is a recently developed exercise mode that improves fitness and some health markers in less time compared to the traditional exercise guidelines.
At Victoria University, we are investigating whether HIT sessions could become a realistic option for sedentary individuals and we need your help!
To be eligible to participate in this study, you must be:
- Male
- Aged 18-40 years
- Have a BMI greater than 25 kg/m2
- Not regularly exercising
- Free from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and not taking medication that influence blood sugar levels.
We are also investigating if HIT sessions could be a realistic option to treat some symptoms associated with Polycycstic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
To be elegible to particpate, you must be:
- Female with PCOS
- Aged 18-40 years
- Have a BMI greater than 25 kg/m2
- Not regularly exercising
- Free from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and not taking medication that influence blood sugar levels.
If you meet the criteria and participate in the study, you will be reimbursed $30 for your time. Volunteers will complete one exercise protocol, complete questionnaires, and blood samples will be taken for blood sugar and other health markers.
If you are interested in participating, please contact Dr Matthew Cooke or Dr Chris Shaw.
