What this study is about

In this study, investigators will use the IFT 30-15 test, a six-minute walking test, and a treadmill test to assess the participants' cardiorespiratory fitness. For the treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), we will measure indirect gas exchange using a CPET device (K5). Maximum heart rate (HRmax) will be measured with a Polar heart rate monitor (model H10). The six-minute walking test will follow standardized procedures, and the treadmill test will follow a protocol of gradually increasing speed each minute. The study will involve two groups of participants: healthy individuals and pre-hypertensive individuals. While the IFT 30-15 test has been validated on a diverse range of athletes and physically active individuals, it has not yet been validated in individuals with similar characteristics to our participants (BMI \> 30 and limited cardiovascular function). Additionally, a variety of hemodynamic measures and other physical function measures such as sit-to-stand and push-ups will be assessed for all participants.

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

The registry does not list a named intervention.

Primary outcomes

Aerobic capacity (Vo2max-CPET)Baseline

Aerobic capacity will be assessed using cardiopulmonary exercise test on a treadmill. Unit of measure (ml/kg/min)

Aerobic capacity (Vo2max-IFT)Baseline

Aerobic capacity will be assessed using 30-15 intermittent fitness test. Unit of measure Vo2max derived from the maximal running velocity at the final stage of the test (ml/kg/min)

Aerobic capacity (Vo2max-6MWT)Baseline

Aerobic capacity will be assessed using 6-minute walk test. Unit of measure - Vo2max derived from the maximal walking distance achieved on the text (ml/kg/min)
