Physical and Physiological Demands of Different Recreational Team Handball and Walking Modalitiesmodalities
Sponsor: University Institute of Maia
Summary
This study aims to determine the physical and physiological demands and perceived experience during different recreational team handball and walking exercise modalities. Secondary purposes are: i) To compare the cardiovascular and blood lactate responses to self-paced walking (W), brisk walking (BW), recreational walking team handball (WTH), and recreational running team handball (RTH); ii) To compare the perceived experience (Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) and Fun levels (FUN)) during self-paced walking (W), brisk walking (BW), recreational walking team handball (WTH), and recreational running team handball (RTH); iii) To compare the activity profile during self-paced walking (W), brisk walking (BW), recreational walking team handball (WTH), and recreational running team handball (RTH);

Conditions
Interventions
Self-paced Walking (W) training sessions
Participants will partake in 2 sessions of self-paced walking (W), each composed by 3x14 min periods interspersed by 2 min breaks, in which the participants will walk at a self-selected speed (without running) along a 38x18 m course.
Brisk walking (BW) training sessions
Participants will partake in 2 sessions of brisk walking (BW), each composed by 3x14 min periods, interspersed by 2 min breaks, in which the participants will follow a designated instructor who will dictate the walking speed along a 38x18 m course, thus ensuring that the speed of the walking corresponds to a brisk walking speed.
Recreational running team handball (RTH) training sessions
Recreational running team handball (RTH): Participants will partake in 2 sessions of recreational team handball matches (RTH), each composed by 3x14 min periods, interspersed by 2 min breaks on a 40x20m indoor court.
Recreational walking team handball (WTH) training sessions
Recreational walking team handball (WTH): Participants will partake in 2 sessions of recreational walking team handball matches (WTH), each composed by 3x14 min periods, interspersed by 2 min breaks on a 40x20m indoor court.
