Comparison the Effects of Deep Water Running and Treadmill Running on Lower Extremity Anaerobic Exercise Performance in Sedentary Young Adults: A Randomized Controlled Study

The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of different exercise programs as 'Deep Water Running' and 'Treadmill Running' in sedentary young adults.

Detailed Description

Rapid and explosive movements such as jumping or stair climbing need anaerobic performance. Anaerobic performance is negatively affected by sedentary behaviour due to loss of muscle strength and endurance. Exercise is an effective method to increase muscle strength and physical performance.

Exercising in water has unique physiological characteristics such as buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and metacentric effect. In addition, exercising in high speeds in water leads strengthening. Deep water running is employed to imitate the running on land. It is advocated that deep water running might result additional benefits than running on land. Therefore, the effect of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of deep water running and treadmill running in sedentary young adults.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Deep Water Running
Participants in this group will perform running in a vertical position in water. The sessions will be held in deep pool where the feet of the participants will not touch the ground.
Other: Exercise
Exercise sessions will include 10 minutes of warming up, 30 minutes of loading, and 10 minutes of cooling down. The exercises will be performed two times in a week for eight weeks.
Active Comparator: Treadmill Running
Participants in this group will perform running on a treadmill.
Other: Exercise
Exercise sessions will include 10 minutes of warming up, 30 minutes of loading, and 10 minutes of cooling down. The exercises will be performed two times in a week for eight weeks.
No Intervention: Control
Participants in this group will not interfere regular exercise for 8 weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in lower extremity anaerobic performance
Time Frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
The lower extremity anaerobic performance will be measured by using Wingate Anaerobic Capacity Test. The average power (watt, watt/kg), and peak power (watt/watt/kg) will be recorded.
At baseline and 8 weeks later

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in lower extremity strength
Time Frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
The strengths of M. Quadriceps Femoris, M. Gluteus Maximus, and M. Gastrocnemius will be assessed by using a hand-held dynamometer. Muscle strength will be recorded in kilograms.
At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in agility
Time Frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
T agility test will be used for evaluating agility. The time will be recorded for completing the test.
At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in trunk muscle endurance
Time Frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Side bridge position will be employed to measure the trunk muscles endurance. The time until the failure in the position will be recorded.
At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in fatigue
Time Frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Fatigue will be assessed by using Fatigue Severity Scale. It includes nine items, and each item is scored between 1-7 (1: totally disagree, 7: totally agree). Higher scores indicate higher levels of fatigue.
At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in total body mass
Time Frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Total body mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.
At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in fat mass
Time Frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Fat mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.
At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in fat free muscle mass
Time Frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Fat free muscle mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.
At baseline and 8 weeks later
Change in basal metabolism rate
Time Frame: At baseline and 8 weeks later
Basal metabolism will be measured by analyzing gas exchange in rest position. Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production will be recorded.
At baseline and 8 weeks later
