Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cardiovascular demand will be measured using physiological parameters of heart rate and oxygen saturation recorded continuously via a forehead probe with a Nellcor N-20PA Handheld Pulse oximeter.[Physiological parameters (heart rate and oxygen saturation) will be measured continuously during 5 mins of rest and 15 min exercise session. Averages and maximum values at rest and for the exercise session will be recorded.]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Energy expenditure (Metabolic equivalents) will be measured using a SenseWear Pro activity monitor (Body Media, Pittsburg, PA).[Data willbe recorded continuously during 5 mins of rest and 15 min exercise session. Averages and total energy expended at rest and for the exercise session will be recorded.];Perception of using both exercise modes will be measured using a visual analogue scale. Perception of enjoyment, levels of fatigue, workload and confidence that an appropriate level of exercise was undertaken will be measured.[Perception will be recorded at completion of each exercise session.]
