Energy Expenditure and Fitness Response Following Once Weekly Hill Climbing at Low Altitude

Energy Expenditure and Fitness Response Following Once Weekly Hill Climbing at Low Altitude

Abstract This work sought to determine the fitness responses and energy expenditure (EE) following once-weekly hill climbing for 16 weeks on different slopes. A cohort of 98 healthy, sedentary subjects (49 female, 49 male) completed the program at their preferred climbing pace. Body composition, res...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract This work sought to determine the fitness responses and energy expenditure (EE) following once-weekly hill climbing for 16 weeks on different slopes. A cohort of 98 healthy, sedentary subjects (49 female, 49 male) completed the program at their preferred climbing pace. Body composition, resting metabolic rate (RMR) and VO 2 max were measured. EE was measured on 4 slopes (11.6°, 19.9°, 14.9°, and 28.6°) at the subjects’ preferred speed. In males, weight, body mass index, fat mass significantly decreased (P
