Summary

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.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Cross-over self-control groupExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

The current study utilizes the cross-over design. Therefore, only one group of participants will be studied using the self-control design. Each participant will undergo two conditions (control leggings vs. shortened resistance band leggings) at least one day apart.
