Physical Inactivity / Sedentary Behavior Z72.8
Conditions
Interventions
Group 1: Implementation of an eight-week training program. The training includes different types of jumps that either induce high strain and strain rates (muscular power
e.g., reactive jumps) or increase aerobic and anaerobic muscle power (high-intensity interval training (HIIT)
e.g., countermovement jumps). The training is conducted 2-3 times per week in sessions of up to 15 minutes, gradually ramped in terms of intensity and volume.
Group 2: No training

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess the scalability of the intervention and identify physiological and/or psychological processes centrally involved in the effectiveness of the intervention. | — |
