Leggings With Resistance Bands on Caloric Expenditure During Exercise

Starting soon

Conditions studied: Health Behavior

In brief

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the impact of incorporating shortened resistance bands (SRB) into leggings on cardiovascular responses and caloric expenditure during exercise in young, healthy women. This study will employ a randomized, controlled, and double-blind crossover design involving four types of exercise: walking, climbing, rowing, and cycling. Participants will perform each type of exercise for 10 minutes while wearing either SRB leggings or leggings without SRB, with sessions on separate days and about 3 days apart. The cardiovascular and metabolic responses will be measured during and after the exercise.
