Local and Systemic Oxygen Saturation During 'Death by Squats' Exercise

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Death by Airsquat: Increasing number of squats have to be completed every minute (EMOM principle).

Study summary

During the exercise intervention "Death by Squats", which compasses body weight squats until maximum exertion, 25-30 subjects shall be tested for heart rate, the oxygen saturation of the vastus medialis and the triceps, resting and at maximum exertion blood lactate, as well as the rate of perceived exertion on the borg scale. At the end, all should indicate their primary reason for stopping (local fatigue, systemic fatigue, time constraints, motivational deficit).

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Local and systemic SmO2 curve — From the start of the exercise intervention until individual exhaustion (expected between 15 to 30 minutes), with SmO₂ continuously recorded during exercise and final measurement taken immediately upon exhaustion.
