- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of different exercise programs as 'Deep Water Running' and 'Treadmill Running' in sedentary young adults.
- Detailed Description
Rapid and explosive movements such as jumping or stair climbing need anaerobic performance. Anaerobic performance is negatively affected by sedentary behaviour due to loss of muscle strength and endurance. Exercise is an effective method to increase muscle strength and physical performance.
Exercising in water has unique physiological characteristics such as buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and metacentric effect. In addition, exercising in high speeds in water leads strengthening. Deep water running is employed to imitate the running on land. It is advocated that deep water running might result additional benefits than running on land. Therefore, the effect of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of deep water running and treadmill running in sedentary young adults.

Group Intervention Description Deep Water Running Exercise Participants in this group will perform running in a vertical position in water. The sessions will be held in deep pool where the feet of the participants will not touch the ground. Treadmill Running Exercise Participants in this group will perform running on a treadmill.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in lower extremity anaerobic performance At baseline and 8 weeks later The lower extremity anaerobic performance will be measured by using Wingate Anaerobic Capacity Test. The average power (watt, watt/kg), and peak power (watt/watt/kg) will be recorded.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in fatigue At baseline and 8 weeks later Fatigue will be assessed by using Fatigue Severity Scale. It includes nine items, and each item is scored between 1-7 (1: totally disagree, 7: totally agree). Higher scores indicate higher levels of fatigue.
Change in fat mass At baseline and 8 weeks later Fat mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.
Change in fat free muscle mass At baseline and 8 weeks later Fat free muscle mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.
Change in trunk muscle endurance At baseline and 8 weeks later Side bridge position will be employed to measure the trunk muscles endurance. The time until the failure in the position will be recorded.
Change in lower extremity strength At baseline and 8 weeks later The strengths of M. Quadriceps Femoris, M. Gluteus Maximus, and M. Gastrocnemius will be assessed by using a hand-held dynamometer. Muscle strength will be recorded in kilograms.
Change in agility At baseline and 8 weeks later T agility test will be used for evaluating agility. The time will be recorded for completing the test.
Change in total body mass At baseline and 8 weeks later Total body mass will be measured by using bioelectrical impedance analysis and will be recorded in kilograms.
Change in basal metabolism rate At baseline and 8 weeks later Basal metabolism will be measured by analyzing gas exchange in rest position. Oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production will be recorded.
