Does Higher Intensity Increase the Rate of Responders to Endurance Training When Total Energy Expenditure Remains Constant? A Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Standardized training prescriptions often result in large variation in training response with a substantial number of individuals that show little or no response at all. The present study examined whether the response in markers of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) to moderate intensity endurance training can be elevated by an increase in training intensity.

Methods

Thirty-one healthy, untrained participants (46 ± 8 years, BMI 25.4 ± 3.3 kg m^-2 and [Formula: see text]O_2max 34 ± 4 mL min^-1 kg^-1) trained for 10 weeks with moderate intensity (3 day week^-1 for 50 min per session at 55% HR_reserve). Hereafter, the allocation into two groups was performed by stratified randomization for age, gender and VO
