Study Overview
Brief Summary
The present study aims at analyzing the dose-response effects of a recreational team handball-based exercise programme on cardiovascular, metabolic, musculoskeletal and physical fitness markers of inactive middle-aged and older men, without previous experience with the sport. The researchers hypothesized a positive weekly training frequency effect on health and physical fitness outcomes.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Within-group changes from baseline to 16 weeks, and between-group changes in week 16, in maximal oxygen uptake
Time Frame: Baseline and week 16
Maximal oxygen uptake (mL/min/kg) was measured by pulmonary gas exchange measurements. The participants performed an incremental treadmill test until voluntary exhaustion in a laboratory, according to a standardized incremental protocol.
