What this study is about

The prevalence of obesity in Brazil is one of the highest in Latin America. As an inflammatory disease, obesity needs to be treated, and one of the best interventions is exercise. This research aims to learn more about the effects of combining high-intensity training, recovery hypoxia, and taurine supplementation. To better understand these effects, the researchers will compare hypoxia and normoxia, as well as taurine and placebo, with all participants training in the same way. The researchers will also investigate mitochondrial respiration and food consumption to connect certain aspects of obesity with overall health.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

Cycle ergometer

Other

The initial part will last 5 minutes at low intensity, corresponding to "easy" by the RPE. The main part will be performed at the intensity of training zone 3 (100-110% of the Lan), lasting 5 minutes with a rest of 2.5 minutes between exercises. The intensity will be controlled by HR and RPE. The final part will last 3 minutes at low intensity, corresponding to "easy" by the RPE. The load progression occurred during the first four weeks, starting with 3 sets and adding 1 set per week. The intensity of each effort is 100-110%HRAnTh.
