Effects of Microdosed Resistance Training During Physical Education on Health-Related Fitness in Adolescents
Effects of Microdosed Resistance Training During Physical Education Lessons on Health-Related Fitness in School Adolescents
This study will examine whether short bouts of resistance training incorporated into physical education lessons can improve health-related physical fitness in secondary school students aged 15-16 years.
A total of 264 students will participate in two successive cohorts. School classes, rather than individual students, will be randomly assigned to study groups. In the first cohort, three resistance-training programs using low, moderate, or high training loads will be compared with usual physical education. The program producing the most consistent beneficial changes will then be tested in a new group of students in the second cohort and compared with usual physical education.
Each training program will last eight weeks. Participants will be assessed before the intervention, halfway through it, immediately after it, and eight weeks after it ends. Assessments will include body composition, blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, jumping performance, trunk muscular endurance, and sprint performance.
The study will evaluate both average changes in each group and the proportion of students showing improvements greater than the expected measurement error of the tests.

상세 설명
This school-based study is designed as a two-stage, cluster-randomized controlled trial consisting of an exploratory cohort followed by a confirmatory cohort. The school class is the unit of randomization. Planned enrollment is 132 students in each cohort, for a total of 264 participants.
In Cohort I, participating classes will be randomized in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to one of four study conditions: low-load resistance training, moderate-load resistance training, high-load resistance training, or usual physical education. The three resistance-training conditions will differ primarily in training load, repetition range, number of sets, rest intervals, and repetitions in reserve.
The resistance-training program showing the highest frequency of beneficial individual responses in Cohort I will be selected for further evaluation. A beneficial individual response will be defined as an improvement exceeding the minimal detectable change (MDC) for the respective outcome. Cohort II will include a new set of school classes randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the resistance-training program selected from Cohort I or usual physical education.
Randomization will be performed at the class level using permuted blocks. Block size will be four classes in Cohort I and two classes in Cohort II. The sex composition of classes will be considered to support balanced allocation across study conditions. The randomization sequence will be generated using R with a fixed random seed. Participants and physical education teachers cannot be blinded to group assignment. Outcome assessors will remain unaware of class allocation where feasible.
The resistance-training interventions will be incorporated into regular physical education lessons and supervised by physical education teachers. Exercises will use body weight, dumbbells, medicine balls, and resistance bands. Training load will progress every two weeks by modifying repetitions, rest intervals, external resistance, or the number of sets according to the assigned training condition.
Measurements will be performed at four time points: before the intervention, at the intervention midpoint, immediately after the eight-week intervention, and eight weeks after completion of the intervention. Assessments will include anthropometric measures, body composition assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis, resting blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness assessed using the 20-m shuttle run test, handgrip strength, countermovement jump performance, standing long jump performance, 30-second sit-up performance, and 10-m sprint performance. Somatic maturation, injury history, dietary habits, rating of perceived exertion, and repetitions in reserve will also be recorded.
Statistical analyses will account for repeated measurements and the clustering of students within school classes. Mixed-effects approaches, including linear mixed models and generalized linear mixed models where appropriate, will be used to evaluate changes over time and differences between study groups. Individual responsiveness will additionally be evaluated using outcome-specific MDC thresholds.

실험적: Cohort I: Low-Load Resistance Training
Teacher-supervised resistance training incorporated into physical education lessons for eight weeks. Exercises use body weight, dumbbells, medicine balls, and resistance bands. The initial prescription consists of 2-3 sets of 12-15 repetitions, 30-40 seconds of rest between sets, and 3-4 repetitions in reserve. Training progresses every two weeks through planned changes in repetitions, rest intervals, external resistance, or number of sets. |
